Fallen Off a Rock Lyrics[Intro]
Ain’t nothing but a thang
[Verse 1]
Well, the ASEA moves to Memphis
On the Burlington Northern line
It moves so slow
You'd have to be deaf and blind
To have the train leave you behind
[Chorus 1]
Kinda like
Fallin’ off a rock
Fallin’ off a rock
Fallin’ off a rock in train time
[Verse 2]
There's a flophouse over on South Maine
Called the Frank James Hotel
They got some ugly women there to take you to heaven
A few gonna take you to hell
[Chorus 1]
Kinda like
Fallin’ off a rock
Fallin’ off a rock
Fallin’ off a rock in train time
[Bridge 1]
Catch out up to St. Louis
Maybe they’ll give me a job
Stay right there at the mission
Haven’t had a talk with God
[Chorus 2]
Kinda like
Fallen off a rock
Fallen off a rock
Fallen off a rock in train time
[Verse 3]
Well, the police have got my number
They had me for vagrancy
I went to their hotel down on Monroe
Felt their hospitality
[Chorus 3]
Kinda like
Fallin’ on a rock
Fallin’ on a rock
Fallin’ on a rock in train time
[Bridge 1]
Catch out up to St. Louis
Maybe they’ll give me a job
Stay right there at the mission
Haven’t had a talk with God
[Chorus 2]
Kinda like
Fallen off a rock
Fallen off a rock
Fallen off a rock in train time
[Bridge 2]
Crunching on the cinders, looking for an empty
Hmmm-hmmm
Drinking my red wine, checking the high line
Hmmm-hmmm
[Chorus 1]
Kinda like
Fallin’ off a rock
Fallin’ off a rock
Fallin’ off a rock in train time
[Outro]
In freight train time
Please don’t let me die alone
Hey, freight train
Please, don’t let me die alone, oh, die alone
[?]
Oh take me home
It's a freight train
Now, a freight train
