Penny On The Train Track

I'm just a penny on the train track waiting for my judgment day Come on, baby girl, let see me those legs Before I get flattened away I wait, yeah, I wait For something good, for something great Stopping in somebody's old hometown Gotta get that midnight meal If you can't get behind your own life Get behind the driving wheel And go, just go, find a place that you don't know Ran into a friend just the other night Got a badge, he's a local cop Haven't seen that boy in over seven years Since outta high school, I dropped I see, I see All the things that I should be Even lucky man has a bad day and pretty girl has a scar After that train comes and takes me away Pick up that guitar and play, just play Play that rock n' roll for me He's in the yard, just washin' his car thinking about his pretty wife Makin' lemonade with the Kitchen Aid Makin' him a perfect life And it's grim, so dim When you wish that you were just like him I'm just a penny on the train track waiting for my judgment day Come on, baby girl, let me see those legs Before I get flattened away I wait, yeah, I wait For something good, for something great I wait, yeah, I wait For something good, for something great Yeah, I wait, yeah, I wait For something good, for something great And I try, oh, I try I can't stop, I don't know why
