Penny on the Train Track

I'm just a penny on the train track
Waitin' for my judgment day
Come on baby girl, let me see those legs
Before I get flattened awayI wait
Yeah, I wait
For something good
For something greatStoppin' in somebody's old hometown
Gotta get that midnight meal
If you can't get behind your own life
Get behind the driving wheelAnd go
Just go
Find a place
That you don't knowRan into a friend just the other night
Got a badge, he's a local cop
Haven't seen that boy in over seven years
Since out of high school I droppedI see
I see
All the things
That I should beOoh, come on baby and dance with meEven lucky man has a bad day
And pretty girl has a scar
After that train comes and takes me away
Pick up that guitarAnd play
Just play
Play that rock and roll
For meHe's in the yard just washin' his car
Thinkin' 'bout his pretty wife
Makin' lemonade with the kitchen aid
Makin' him a perfect lifeAnd it's grim
So dim
When you wish
That you were just like himI'm just a penny on the train track
Waitin' for my judgment day
Come on baby girl, let me see those legs
Before I get flattened awayI wait
I wait
For something good
For something greatI wait
Yeah, I wait
For something good
For something greatYeah, I wait
Yeah, I wait
For something good
For something greatAnd I try
Oh, I try
I can't stop
I don't know why
