Rat in a train ditch, caught on a limb,
You know better but I know him.
Like I told you, what I said,
Steal your face right off your head.
Refrain:
Now he's gone, now he's gone. He's gone.
Like a steam locomotive rollin' down the track,
He's gone, gone, and nothin's gonna bring him back, he's gone.
Nine mile skid on a ten mile ride, hot as a pistol but cool inside.
Cat on a tin roof, dogs in a pile, nothin' left to do but smile,
smile, smile.
Refrain
Goin' where the wind don't blow so strange,
Maybe off on some high cold mountain chain.
Lost one round but the prize wasn't anything,
.
knife in the back and more of the same, same old...
Repeat 1st verse then refrain
