Lyrics
Misery Train Matt Allen
V1
Misery Train, rollin’ down the track
I’ll hop that train and I won’t come back
Where it’s headed, I don’t know
and I don’t care
as long as I go
Chorus
The rattlin’ of the rails means a brand new start
I wannna get away and ease the pain in my heart
I wanna get that cheatin’ woman outta my mind
and leave my trouble on the tracks behind
V2
Train guard jumpin’ across the top
tryin’ hard to put a stop
to cats like me
who wanna ride for free
and threaten their job security
Chorus
Solo
V3
Misery Train take me far away
but I know I’ll be comin’ back some day
to see if that woman’s changed her ways
right now I wanna see some better days
Chorus
Refrain
Misery Train take me far away (x4)
