Am Dm E AmThe engine is flying through hills and through valleys,
C EIt flies to a place I Do not know.
Am A7 DmTo see my dear mother and say my last "hello,"
Am E AmOne final time I have to go.
Am Dm E AmDon't wait for me, Mama, your good son is gone,
C EHe isn't the boy of yesterday.
Am A7 DmThe dangerous quagmire has sucked me deep inside,
Am E AmAnd life is just a game I play.
Am Dm E AmAnd if they should put me behind the bars,
C EThen I’ll break the bars and I’ll be free.
Am A7 DmSo let the moon shine with its cold and crooked
light,
Am E AmIt won’t stop my delivery.
Am Dm E AmBut if I Am spotted by the prison guards,
C EThen this little boy is lost.
Am A7 DmA siren, a gunshot, and head to the ground,
Am E AmI’ll fall and pay the final cost.
Am Dm E AmAnd I will be lying on a cold prison bed,
C EI’ll lie there until my breath is gone.
Am A7 DmAnd you won’t be coming, my darling mother dear,
Am E AmTo kiss me one last time.
Am Dm E AmOh, wait, train! Stop clicking, you iron wheels!
C EThere’s time still to look fate in the eye.
Am A7 DmBefore it's too late now to make a final stop,
Am E AmConductor, let the brakes now fly.
