Texas 1947

Now bein' six years old

I had seen some trains before

So it's hard to figure out

What I'm at the depot forTrains are big and black and smokin'

Steam screamin' at the wheels

And bigger than anything they is

At least that's the way she feelsTrains are big and black and smokin'

Louder in July four

But everybody's actin' like

this might be somethin' moreThan just pickin' up the mail

Or the soldiers from the war

This is somethin' that even old man

Wileman never seen beforeAnd it's late afternoon

On a hot Texas day

Somethin' strange is goin' on

And we's all in the wayWell there's fifty or sixty people

Just sittin' on their cars

And the old men left their dominos

And they come down from the barsAnd everybody's checkin'

Old Jack Kittrel check his watch

And us kids put our ears

To the rails to hear 'em popSo we already knowed it

When I finally said, "Train time"

You'd a-thought that Jesus Christ

His-self was rollin' down the line'Cause things got real quiet

Momma jerked me back

But not before I'd got the chance

to lay a nickel on the trackLook out here she comes, she's comin'

Look out there she goes, she's gone

Screamin' straight through Texas

Like a mad dog CycloneBig, red, and silver

She don't make no smoke

She's a fast-rollin' streamline

Come to show the folksI said, Look out here she comes, she's comin'

Look out there she goes, she's gone

Screamin' straight through Texas

Like a mad dog CycloneLord, she never even stopped

But She left fifty or sixty people

Still sittin' on their cars

They're wonderin' what it's comin' to

And how it got this farOh, but me I got a nickel

Smashed flatter than a dime

By a mad dog, runaway

Red-silver streamlineTrain look out here she comes, she's comin'

Look out there she goes, she's gone

Screamin' straight through Texas

Like a mad dog CycloneBig, red, and silver

She don't make no smoke

She's a fast-rollin' streamline

Come to show the folksI said, Look out here she comes, she's comin'

Look out there she goes, she's gone

Screamin' straight through Texas

Like a mad dog CycloneLook out here she comes, she's comin'

Look out there she goes, she's gone

Screamin' straight through Texas

Like a mad dog CycloneLook out here she comes, she's comin'

Look out there she goes, she's gone

Screamin' straight through Texas

Like a mad dog Cyclone
