Fear of Trains Full Lyrics
[00:06.34] It was the army train that took her daddy from her
[00:10.82] It was the bible train that took her momma too
[00:16.27] And that high loud whistle made her horse run away
[00:21.61] But the straw the broke the camel's back was you
[00:27.15] It was the government train that took away her childhood
[00:32.58] It was the KKK that took away her past
[00:37.93] It was the white man's will that hers be broken
[00:43.39] But that barefoot girl could run too fast
[00:47.85] CHORUS:
[00:48.76] Because the world's too cold for a girl like that with a
[00:54.11] Blackfoot soul and a cowboy hat
[00:58.78] Everything she loved went down the dragon track
[01:03.27] She had a fear of trains
[01:08.69] BRIDGE:
[01:15.81] In the beet fields of Montana
[01:21.20] She's always coming on dead rails
[01:26.62] To break the plow and whisper "Honey,
[01:31.19] Bound to live is bound to fail"
[01:36.56] And in a park in San Francisco
[01:41.92] Her momma shrieks about the Lord
[01:47.43] And down the dead rails there's an echo
[01:52.85] The wind is whistling all-aboard
[01:56.40] CHORUS
[02:18.41] It was the wagon train that took away her country
[02:23.85] It was the oil train that took away her land
[02:29.30] She could have been the belle of the ponderosa
[02:34.74] But that was not the fat man's plan
[02:39.23] CHORUS
[03:08.17]
