Racing The Train Lyrics - Singles - Angry Johnny And The Killbillies

(chorus) I'm racing the train to the crossroads 

To find out if I'm still alive 

I'm racing the train to the crossroads, baby 

I'm racing with the devil tonight 

And no matter if I live or die when I make 

it to the other side 

You'll still be gone and I'll be alone 

so I'm already dead inside 

I can hear that whistle blowing 

I guess it's time to turn the key 

Ain't nothing left in this old town, 

Ain't nothing left for me 

About a mile out it's coming like a 

demon belching fire 

And I got my motor running, 

gonna race it to the wire 

And the road is dark and lonely 

and the moon is shining bright 

But without you here to hold me 

There's no reason left tonight 

(chorus) 

I can see the red lights flashing 

I can see your pretty face 

I got the pedal to the metal 

Win or lose, I ran the race 

And I gave it everything I had, 

I guess that you did to 

And I never loved anyone as much as I love you 

But somewhere babe I don't know when 

We threw it all away 

Now that whistle's blowin' loud and clear 

It's calling out my name 

(chorus) 

I loved you then and I love you now 

And I wish I could turn this car around 

But the devil's holding my foot down 

and that Conrail's here and it's 

shaking the ground 

And the lights are flashing red now 

And I can hear everything you said now 

But you're in someone else's bed now 

So there's nothing left for me 

No there's nothing left for me 

(chorus)
