lyrics

The Last Train


Well I was almost caught in the spring of '63
But I dodged a bullet that was clearly meant for me
And she was fast but I was faster
She through that lasso but I slipped right past her
Hopped that rattler on the way to Tennessee
And I was almost caught in the spring of '63

Well I was almost caught in the fall of '75
And I threw that dice but it came up snake eyes
And lady luck she was smilin' at me
Like the cat that ate that damn canary
But that boxcar got me out alive
And I was almost caught in the fall of '75

And there ain't no woman gonna tie me down
I'll end up six feet in the ground
Try as they might they might give it a shot
But there ain't no woman gonna get me caught

Well I was almost caught in the winter of '84
Well I dropped that four piece suit to the floor
And she was lookin' to hold me for 20 on the river
Jack rabbit parole I'd never out live her
And I flipped that tank car but I coulda swore
And I was almost caught in the winter of '84

Well I was almost caught in the summer of '96
Blood stains on my duster from bein' pussy whipped
And hasher thought she had me on the right track
Well I hauled that 6 string onto my back
Mule bent that rail and realigned that switch
And I was almost caught in the summer of '96

And there ain't no woman gonna tie me down
I'll end up six feet in the ground
Try as they might they might give it a shot
But there ain't no woman gonna get me caught

And there ain't no woman gonna tie me down
Ain't no woman gonna have me bound
When you hear that lonesome train
Ride away and break those chains
