Texas - Guy Clark[00:00:00]
Now being six years old[00:00:05]
I had seen some trains before[00:00:07]
So it's hard to figure out what I'm at the depot for[00:00:10]
Trains are big and black[00:00:14]
And smoking steam screaming at the wheels[00:00:15]
Bigger than anything they is[00:00:19]
At least that's the way she feels[00:00:21]
Trains are big and black and smoking louder on July four[00:00:23]
But everybody is acting like this might be something more than[00:00:28]
Just picking up the mail or the soldiers from the war[00:00:33]
This is something that even old man Wileman never seen before[00:00:37]
And it's late afternoon on a hot Texas day[00:00:41]
Something strange is going on and we's all in the way[00:00:47]
Well there's fifty or sixty people[00:00:53]
They're just sitting on their cars[00:00:55]
And the old men left their dominos[00:00:58]
And they come down from the bars[00:01:00]
When everybody's checking old Jack Kittrel check his watch[00:01:02]
And us kids put our ears to the rails to hear pop[00:01:07]
So we already knowed it when they finally said train time[00:01:11]
You'd a thought[00:01:16]
That Jesus Christ himself was rolling down the line[00:01:16]
Cause things got real quiet momma jerked me back[00:01:20]
But not before I'd got the chance to lay a nickel on the track[00:01:25]
Look out here she comes she's coming[00:01:29]
Look out there she goes she's gone[00:01:32]
Screaming straight through Texas[00:01:34]
Like a mad dog cyclone[00:01:35]
Big red and silver[00:01:38]
She don't make no smoke[00:01:40]
She's a fast rolling streamline[00:01:42]
Come to show the folks[00:01:45]
I say look out here she comes she's coming[00:01:47]
Look out there she goes she's gone[00:01:49]
Screaming straight through Texas[00:01:51]
Like a mad dog cyclone[00:01:53]
Lord she never even stopped[00:02:04]
She left fifty or sixty people still sitting on their cars[00:02:08]
And they're wondering what it's coming to[00:02:12]
And how it got this far[00:02:15]
Only me I got a nickel smashed flatter than a dime[00:02:17]
By a mad dog runaway red-silver streamline train[00:02:21]
Look out there she comes she's coming[00:02:26]
Look out there she goes she's gone[00:02:28]
Screaming straight through Texas[00:02:31]
Like a mad dog cyclone[00:02:32]
She's big red and silver[00:02:35]
She don't make no smoke[00:02:37]
She's a fast rolling streamline[00:02:39]
Come to show the folks[00:02:41]
I say look out there she comes she's coming[00:02:43]
Look out there she goes she's gone[00:02:46]
Screaming straight through Texas[00:02:48]
Like a mad dog cyclone[00:02:49]
Look out here she come she's coming[00:02:52]
Look out there she goes she's gone[00:02:55]
Screaming straight through Texas[00:02:57]
Like a mad dog cyclone[00:02:58]
