Railroad of Sin

Well they say you live & learn but it really seems more to me

Like all along I've been learning how to live

Well for years I been drifting like a boat lost out at sea

I've been out walking them ties on the railroad of sin

Looking back on my life now at some of the things I done

Makes me wanna hang my head in shame

I was a no good, no account, low down heartbreaker

On that railroad of sin I was a highballing train

I'm just a poor boy had to beg, steal, & borrow

Just a leaf blowing lonesome in the wind

I'm just a hitchhiker on that old highway of sorrow

Just a highballing train on that railroad of sin

Well you won't feel it and you won't hear it coming

Cause when she's rolling slow it don't make a sound

But I got that throttle to ten on the railroad of sin

I'm coming off of the rails and I can't slow it down
