Lyrics Train Trek (Live) - Robert Earl Keen
Train
Trek
Tracks
are
starting
to
rumble,
wheels
beginning
to
roll
There's
a
short
handle
shovel
full
of
number
9 coal
Hey,
mister
brakeman
are
we
running
on
time
No,
mister
engineer,
think
we're
falling
behind
Will
we
crash
on
the
trestle?
Will
we
pass
on
the
plain?
All
I
can
guess
is,
we'll
be
seeing
that
train
No
way
to
stop
em?
No
way
to
tell?
Keep
your
hand
on
the
throttle
and
your
eye
on
the
rail
Send
the
word
to
the
sherriff,
make
the
people
lie
down
Tell
the
cook
and
the
coachman,
there's
no
turning
round
Up
ahead
is
the
tunnel,
just
beyond
is
the
bend
Pass
the
word
to
the
preacher,
it's
all
up
to
him
Said
the
preacher's
been
drinking
and
he's
starting
to
cry
Saying
Great
God
Almighty,
we're
all
gonna
die
All
the
porters
are
betting
nobody
survives
And
the
Indian
Cowboy
is
taking
a
dive
The
undertaker
is
laughing,
the
doctor's
cold
as
a
stone
The
fiddle
player
is
playing
there's
no
place
like
home
We'll
be
making
the
trestle
just
over
the
hill
If
we
don't
make
it
now
boys,
we
never
will
When
the
trains
hit
the
trestle
and
the
trestle
gave
way
The
two
trains
collided
in
midair
they
say
When
the
dust
finally
settled,
all
they
found
was
a
hole
And
a
short
handle
shovel
full
of
number
9 coal
A
hundred
years
after
and
a
hundred
miles
high
The
captain
commander
looks
down
from
the
sky
And
he
says
to
his
soldiers,
"She's
pullin
too
strong"
"We
can
hold
her
together,
but
we
can't
hold
her
for
long"
So
we
look
for
a
message
and
we
search
in
our
souls
As
we
sift
through
the
wreckage
like
we're
shoveling
coal.
