I Feel Like a Train - Malcolm Holcombe

there’s songs about you and there’s songs about me

at the end of the day they all sound the same

times when i’m runnin' times when i ain’t

and at the end of the day i feel like a train

i feel like a train

when i was a youngun' shoveled coal in the stoker

pulled out the clinkers with a claw in my hand

the grace coal truck came had to get it on credit

kept us warm in the snow until june

i counted on you you counted on me

my back was strong and my mama was week

and at the end of the day i feel like a train

i feel like a train

i gotta ol' guitar hitchhiked to florida

played in the bars and stayed drunk in the sun

i blew all my money came back to the blue ridge

played in saluda and black mountain town

and at the end of the day i feel like a train

i feel like a train

there’s a whistle in the distance it sounds like a whisper

when i lay down beside you and kiss you again

wheels keep on rollin' comin' and a’goin'

somewhere i’m bound to be bound

and at the end of the day i feel like a train

i feel like a train
