about

This song is a cover. Kind of. I'm sorry Johnny.

lyrics

I hear that train a-comin
Yeah it's rollin round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine since
I don't know when
I'm stuck in Portland, Oregon
And time keeps draggin on
And that train keeps a-rollin
On down to Beaverton

When I was just a youngin'
Back when mama called me boy
I thought guitars and microphones
Were just some fuckin toys
Then I saw a band in Reno
Just to see them live
And those guitars and microphones
They took over my mind

I bet there's rich folks drivin
In their fancy hybrid cars
To their houses in the West Hills
Where their shoes don't fall apart
Well, I'm sure it's lovely livin
But I'm not sure that it's for me
But the older that I get
The more I know uncertainty

If I ever get a real job
A white collar, 9 to 5
Hope I don't lose my shit
Strangle my peers with their neckties
The judge'll stare me down,
"Boy, I'm sending you away"
On down to Folsom prison
A long vacation out of state
