Texas 1947 - Guy Clark[00:00:00]
Bein' six years old I had seen some trains before[00:00:01]
So it's hard to figure out what I'm at the depot for[00:00:05]
Trains are big and black and smokin' steam screamin' at the wheels[00:00:10]
Bigger than anything there is at least that's the way she feels[00:00:15]
Trains are big and black and smokin' louder in July four[00:00:19]
But everybody's actin' like this might be somethin' more[00:00:24]
Than just pickin' up the mail or the soldiers from the war[00:00:28]
This is somethin' that even old man Wileman never seen before[00:00:33]
And it's late afternoon on a hot Texas day[00:00:38]
And somethin' strange is goin' on and we's all in the way[00:00:43]
Well there's fifty or sixty people just sittin' on their cars[00:00:49]
And the old men left their dominoes and come down from the bars[00:00:53]
And everybody's checkin' old Jack Kittrel check his watch[00:00:58]
And us kids put our ears to the rails to hear 'em pop[00:01:02]
So we already knowed it when they finally said train time[00:01:07]
You'd a-thought that Jesus Christ his-self was rollin' down the line[00:01:11]
'Cause things got real quiet mama jerked me back[00:01:16]
But not before I'd got the chance to lay a nickel on the track[00:01:21]
Look out here she comes she's comin'[00:01:26]
Look out there she goes she's gone[00:01:28]
Screamin' straight through Texas like a mad dog cyclone[00:01:30]
Big and red and silver she don't make no smoke[00:01:35]
She's a fast-rollin' streamline come to show the folks[00:01:39]
I said look out here she comes she's comin'[00:01:43]
Look out there she goes she's gone[00:01:46]
Screamin' straight through Texas like a mad dog cyclone[00:01:48]
Lord she never even stopped[00:02:01]
But she left fifty sixty people still sittin' on their cars[00:02:05]
Wonderin' what it's comin' to and how it got this far[00:02:10]
But me I got a nickel smashed flatter than a dime[00:02:14]
By a mad dog runaway red-silver streamline train[00:02:19]
Look out here she comes she's comin'[00:02:23]
Look out there she goes she's gone[00:02:26]
Screamin' straight through Texas like a mad dog cyclone[00:02:28]
Big and red and silver she don't make no smoke[00:02:32]
She's a fast-rollin' streamline come to show the folks[00:02:36]
I said look out here she comes she's comin'[00:02:41]
Look out there she goes she's gone[00:02:43]
Screamin' straight through Texas like a mad dog cyclone[00:02:45]
Look out here she comes she's comin'[00:02:50]
Look out there she goes she's gone[00:02:52]
Screamin' straight through Texas like a mad dog cyclone[00:02:54]
Look out here she comes she's comin'[00:02:59]
Look out there she goes she's gone[00:03:01]
Screamin' straight through Texas like a mad dog cyclone[00:03:03]
