Gone Dead Train Lyrics - Nazareth

It's a gone dead train 

Yes, it's a gone dead train 

My engine was pumpin' steam 

And I was grindin' at you 

Hard and fast 

Burnin' down the rails 

Tryin' to heat the way 

Haulin' ass and ridin' up the track 

And I laughed at the conductor 

Who was tellin' me my coal 

It would never last 

But then the fire in my boiler 

Up and quit before I came 

Ain't no empty cellar 

Like a gone dead train 

Once was at a time when I could 

Mama shave 'em dry 

Raise a fever, ice-down chill 

Waitin' at the station 

With a heavy loaded sack 

Savin' up and holdin' just to spill 

Shootin' my supply through my demon's eye 

Instead of holdin' my time 

I hope I will 

But then the fire in my boiler 

Up and quit before I came 

There ain't no empty cellar 

Needs a gone dead train 

(Yes, it's a gone dead train) 

I'm gonna teach it, gonna teach it to burn, it's a 

(You know, it's a gone dead train) 

(Yes, it's a gone dead train) 

I'm gonna teach it to learn now, now, now 

(You know, it's a gone dead train) 

Gonna teach it, gonna teach it to burn 

There ain't no easy day 

When your daily run's a downhill pull 

And there ain't no easy way 

Wishin' for some jelly roll 

There ain't no switch been made 

To make your juicy lemon find 

A spring to run a dry well full 

But then the fire in my boiler 

Up and quit before I came 

Ain't no empty cellar 

Needs a gone dead train 

(Yes, it's a gone dead train) 

I'm gonna teach it to learn now, babe) 

(You know, it's a gone dead train) 

Gonna teach it, gonna teach it to burn, burn 

(Yes, it's a gone dead train) 

It's a gone dead train, you gotta learn 

(You know, it's a gone dead train) 

Gonna teach it, gonna teach it, gonna teach it to burn
