lyrics

I ain’t sleepin’ in train stations, I can’t play like Reverend Peyton
But I swear to God I’ll fake it until I die
And when I hear that train a whistelin’ it’s no more than a whisper
Teasin’ me what could have been a life

I remember, God help me, when I was just 22
I was lost, I was young, and I didn’t know what to do
But now here I stand at the ripe old age of 23
And I can’t help but figure, lordy, lordy just look at me now

Chorus

I’ve been cold sober for about three minutes now
And I swear I can’t remember why I ever let the bottle touch the ground
Been walkin’ down the block singin’ corny, folksy songs
You may not like my vocals but you’re allowed to be wrong

Chorus

And I remember, lord help me, when I was just 16
Blastin’ mediocre punk rock thinkin’ this right here’s for me
But little did I know about what would truly set me free
And since I found that rhythm, lord, I can’t stop listening

To songs about train stations played by masters in the makin’
Who will fake it ‘til they take their turn to die
And when they hear that train a-whistelin’ on their strings they start a-fiddelin’
And that there ain’t too shabby of a life

Oh yes there’s songs about train stations played by travelers who be chasin’
Dreams of shakin’ it to what their makin’ until they die
And when they hear that train a-whistelin’ on their strings they start a-fiddelin’
And that there ain’t too shabby of a life
