From Stanton Station

歌詞

I used to work for the New Jersey Railroad I got laid off 'cause the times weren't good My unemployment sixty-five dollars Sixty-five dollars don't buy what it should I have a-a weakness for 80-proof whiskey Lately I'm drinkin' a bottle every day Messin' my mind up, lord, it's wreckin' my body But it helps make those long lonely hours slip away I used to be a railroad man, and I'm damn proud of it, too I did more work in a workin' day, than any two men could do Foreman said I drink too much and I guess it's half-way true I drink half as much as my daddy did, and twice as much as you I used to have me a good lookin' woman Loved her and kept her, and called her my own She started packin' when I started drinkin' Now I'm drunk, and I'm busty, and I'm angry all alone I used to be a railroad man, and I'm damn proud of it, too I did more work in a workin' day, than any two men could do Foreman said I drink too much and at last I know it's true But I'm too far gone to change now, ain't nothin' I can do
