[Verse 1: Lee Mellor] Every night that train rolls by Rattles the gla** on the Venetian blinds Stirs my slumber drives me out of my mind That ghostly whistle's got some renown It's the greatest k**er in a small town [Verse 2: Lee Mellor] Nights like this with the fog on the tracks I get the goose-bump shivers and my mind drifts back Johnny had a twenty-sixer of Jack The light was blinding then it tore him down It's the greatest k**er in a small town [Chorus] It's the greatest k**er in a small town Graveyard filler for miles around Get the shivers when I hear that sound It's the greatest k**er in a small town [Verse 3: Lee Mellor] I'd ride that engine like a hobo, free Across pines and bridges to the edge of the sea But it just leads back to the factory Like every path that I've ever found It's the greatest k**er in a small town [Chorus]
