Just another day on these old train tracks Breakin' a sweat, while breakin' my back Just a couple days on these old train tracks On my way back home
Twenty-something years of workin' in the sun The days are hot, the days are long Shackles, chains, shovels, and spades Work me to the bone
No, I'm not innocent And I would do it all again The devil earned his sin Wrapped in that worthless waste of skin I'll never forgive him I'll never forget I'll never forgive him For what he did
See, I used to be a gambler at the crack of noon With piles of chips, at Sal's Saloon When my 4 aces beat his straight He tried to take my life
