Freight Train Lyrics by Izzy Stradlin

117º

1998

[Verse 1]
I heard a freight train
Back on the rail again
I heard a whistle blowin'
Off in the distance

[Pre-Chorus]
It's hot as hell here
The heat's been growin'
It's hot as hell, dear
Oh well, you know it

[Chorus]
She's comin' off of the rail
Throwin' gravel in a hell of a wave

[Verse 2]
I heard a freight train
Been haulin' hemp again
Yeah, smokin' on the rail
Yeah, I need a head check

[Pre-Chorus]
It's hot as hell here
Feels like it's glowin'
It's hot as hell, dear
Yeah, now I'm goin'

[Chorus]
She comin' off of the rail
Throwin' gravel in a hell of a wave
Conductor he don't know
Radio the engineer to brake

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
She comin' off of the rail
Throwin' gravel in a hell of a wave
Conductor he don't know
Radio the engineer to brake

[Bridge]
Here come a freight train
Haulin' the gold away
Another money car
Yeah, in a big way

[Pre-Chorus]
It's hot as hell here
I can't feel nothin'
It's hot as hell, dear
Well, ain't that somethin'?

[Chorus]
She comin' off of the rail
Throwin' gravel in a hell of a wave
Conductor he don't know
Radio the engineer to brake

[Outro]
She comin' over the hill
She comin' off of the rail
And goin' up in a flame
