With a cough and a hiccup a sputter and smoke Pop’s in the pickup… both of ‘em broke He’s hoping one last hit and swig’ll get him closer to home But all that he gets is ashes and foam

Trouble like a train running outta track Nowhere left to go unless he doubles back Trouble like a train running outta steam He’s circling the drain But he’s never coming clean

Down at the diner, Mama’s feeling her age Serving up minors for minimum wage One of ‘em drops a key and credit card charging the door If nobody sees, maybe she’ll score

Trouble like a train running outta track Nowhere left to go, She’s fallen through the cracks Trouble like a train running outta steam Nothing in the tank Nothing but a dream

They let the cold come and swallow them and now I’m alone I know i ain’t follow them I’ll make tracks of my own

SOLO

Trouble on the train. Trouble on the tracks I got no trouble getting down I get in trouble getting back Trouble when the train slows down Trouble when the blame goes around Trouble- it's the same old sound. Trouble on the tracks

Trouble on the train Trouble on the tracks I got no trouble getting down I get in trouble getting back

Trouble when the train slows down Trouble when the blame goes around Trouble- it's the same old sound Trouble on the tracks

Trouble when the train slows down Trouble when the blame goes around Trouble- it's the same old sound. Trouble on the tracks

Trouble on the train Trouble on the tracks I got no trouble getting down I get in trouble getting back

Trouble like train Trouble on the tracks Nowhere left to go…
