My engine was pumpin steam And I was grindin at you hard and fast Burnin down the rails, tryin to heat the way Haulin a** and ridin up the track And laughing at the conductor Who was tellin me my coal It would never last But then the fire in my boiler Up and quit before I came Aint no empty cellar Like a gone dead train Once was at a time when I could Mama shave m dry And raise a fever ice-down chill Waitin at the station With a heavy loaded sack Savin up and holdin just to spill Shootin my supply through my demons eye Instead of holdin my time, I hope I will But then the fire in my boiler Up and quit before I came Aint no empty cellar Like a gone dead train Yes its a dead gone train Im gonna teach it to learn now, now It's a dead gone train Yes it's a dead gone train I'm gonna teach it to learn now, now It's a dean gone train Gonna teach it, gonna teach it to learn There ain't no easy day When your daily run's a downhill pull And there ain't no easy way Wishin' for some jelly roll There ain't no switch been made To make your juicy lemon find A spring to run a dry well full But then the fire in my boiler Up and quit before I came Ain't no empty cellar Like a gone dead train Yes it's a dead gone train I'm gonna teach it to learn You know it's a dead gone train Gonna teach it, gonna teach it to burn It's a dean gone train It's a dean gone train, you gotta learn It's a dean gone train Gonna teach it, gonna teach it to burn
