Jerry Axson - Train in Flame Lyrics

Train in flame is a midnight run
When the wheels touch track they glow like the sun
Fan those flames with heat and desire
You can run for the water but you can't kill the fire
Down the track and around the bend
She's gone and she won't be back again
You can fix your eyes on the distant line
Your ears to the rail but there's no more time
You're a company man, Stan
With your attaché in your hand
So uptight you can not breath
Is it any wonder she had to leave
Hopped this train for the midnight run
Like you jump a dog or you jump a gun
Took a seat in the very last car
You bought a ticket for as far as far

Train - in flame
Train - in flame

Train in flame is a midnight ride
Where your apprehension sleeps by your side
Til' the morning sun creeps over those hills
And you knock it back down with liquor and pills
This Engineers got crazy eyes
No rhyme or reason will subsidize
This ride will come to it's epic end
Six thousand tons on the outside bend
I'm a company man, Stan
With my little heart in my hand
Staring down at the shine on my shoes
Tapping my heel to another man's blues
I do not wonder why she left me here
And I will not live my life in fear
Get this engine on down the line
I got places to go - I got people to shine
