I've been staring at my window
All day long
Trying to determine just what went wrong oh
How much long is that train gonna blow
Now everytime I've been
Just like a wonderful
Same tired faces
Same chain store
How much long is that train gonna blow
Well I stood with the rest
In a bar in keywest
Wondered to the street back east
No matter what town
I lay me down
That train just don't give me no heat
My people came here riff rappin' son
Who dressed a little better but
Thing ain't change that much
How much long is that train gonna blow
Oh
Well that cruel engine here
Comes right through hell
Of the train about thirty miles long
He's blowing that horn rattle and rip
Can't just abide the break of dawn
Alcohol motel tv guide
Everybody lookin' for some place to hide
How much long is that train gonna blow
You know he's got to blow woah
Just blowin' his horn
Alcohol motel tv guide
I need to hide all day
Uh ho
