I was [A] burning down the rails to keep away [D] all of that surrounding us track.
And [A] I laughed at the duck that was telling [D] me my goal would never last.
[E] When the fire in my boiler up was with me before I came, [D] there ain't no empty cellar
that need a [C] gone [A] dead train.
I wonder what time will I see my shape cry [D] and raise the fever lights down chill.
[A] Wait for the station with a heavy load of sack, [D] saving up for all the spill.
[A] Shoot the sky, my demons [D] ride instead of waiting for the time to hold my will.
[E] When the fire in my boiler up was with me before I [D] came, there ain't no empty cellar
that [C] need a gone dead [A] train.
[D] It's a long [C] day [A] of train, you gotta teach the birds.
It's [D] a [C] long day [A] of train, you gotta teach the birds.

The hay goes easy [D] way, for a running downhill pull.
And [A] the hay goes easy way, [D] pushing them on the jelly roll.
[A] Ain't no stupid baby with a juicy lemon pie, [D] to spring a run of dry willful.
When [E] the fire in my boiler up was with me before I came, [D] there ain't no empty cellar
that need a [C] gone dead [A] train.

My head jive with pumping steam, and [D] I was riding that too hard and fast.
I [A] was running down the rails to heed the waves, [D] oh, that's a ride enough to last.
[A] And I laughed at the conductor who was [D] telling me my hope would never last.
