I Robbed A Train Lyrics by Claybank

Roadsigns and Highways

2019

[Verse 1]
I don't think my old horse could run much faster
Tryin' to get away from Sheriff Randy Paxton
He's closin' in, racin' across the plains
I'm spurrin' hard and grippin' on the reins
I robbed a train
[Verse 2]
Just a farming man that never hurt nobody
A simple life out livin' in the country
But the letters, they kept comin' from the bank
And the time has passed for waiting on the rain
I robbed a train
[Chorus]
I robbed a train headed south to the Gulf of Mexico
Fifteen cars loaded down with fourteen-karat gold
A man of desperation with one last card to draw
My saddlebags are filled with all the good life I can haul
I don't claim to be a Jesse James
But I'll always be remembered for the day
I robbed a train
[Verse 3]
I stood right on the tracks just past the tunnel
With my trusty loaded twelve-gauge over under
The engineer, he locked down all the brakes
As it stopped in time to come to tempt my fate
I robbed a train
[Verse 4]
I opened up the door of that old boxcar
I smiled as I took all that I came for
Maybe farmin' life just ain't the life for me
I'm an outlaw now and I have been set free
I robbed a train
[Chorus]
I robbed a train headed south to the Gulf of Mexico
Fifteen cars loaded down with fourteen-karat gold
A man of desperation with one last card to draw
My saddlebags are filled with all the good life I can haul
I don't claim to be a Jesse James
But I'll always be remembered for the day
I robbed a train
