There's songs about you and there's songs about me at the end of the day they all sound the same times when i'm runnin' times when i ain't and at the end of the day i feel like a train i feel like a train
when i was a youngun' shoveled coal in the stoker pulled out the clinkers with a claw in my hand the grace coal truck came had to get it on credit kept us warm in the snow until june
i counted on you you counted on me my back was strong and my mama was week and at the end of the day i feel like a train i feel like a train
i gotta ol' guitar hitchhiked to florida played in the bars and stayed drunk in the sun i blew all my money came back to the blue ridge played in saluda and black mountain town and at the end of the day i feel like a train i feel like a train
there's a whistle in the distance it sounds like a whisper when i lay down beside you and kiss you again wheels keep on rollin' comin' and a'goin' somewhere i'm bound to be bound and at the end of the day i feel like a train i feel like a train.
