Old Train (feat. Struggle Jennings)

There's a train on the mountain
 Burnin' coal, runnin' fast
 'Round the way I can hear it
 As it's comin' on down the tracks
 It's old but it's strong, keeps movin' on
 It shakes the leaves and the grass
 The train is all black, like the man from the past
 The ghost of old Johnny Cash
 Young man lookin' at his young hands
 But the hands of time move faster than he understands
 That time was long ago, many winds down the road
 The railroad couldn't hold, ties that so many broke
 The young man shovels all the coal in the stove
 And the leaves change colors when the breath in the smoke
 And the steel cuts through the prairies and the stones
 The mans eyes are weary and he's so far from home
 The train shakes the ground you can hear it from afar
 The coal burns bright, you can see it like the stars
 The moonlight shines like the headlights from cars
 It howls at the night, like the man out at bars
 Now these old timers pass, hard as coal it's all black
 Like the man Johnny Cash, put his soul in these tracks
 And it rolls off the tracks, whistle blow when it pass
 Can't control it so fast, he just hopes he don't crash
 There's a train on the mountain
 Burnin' coal, runnin' fast
 'Round the way I can hear it
 As it's comin' on down the tracks
 It's old but it's strong, keeps movin' on
 It shakes the leaves and the grass (Ha ha)
 The train is all black, like the man from the past
 The ghost of old Johnny Cash (Struggle)
 Certain prayers were never spoken, I was too ashamed to ever ask him
 It's hard to bask in the glory while my love was keep on passin'
 I don't have enough cash to get 'em out of their bind
 Try to bring a little light to lead 'em out of the blind
 Hard to find peace when war is all you've ever known
 Hard to find a trains path when these tracks are overgrown
 And they're home to the snakes, layin, lookin' for their opportunity
 To uproot every seed that I had sewn
 They throw in the key and strip his kids from their only home
 Lonely and alone, behind walls I tore down every stone
 That I had ever hid behind, rocky path like Stallone
 The underdog will get declined, until
 They climb and claim it's time
 Diggin', grindin' up the mountain
 Flag flies this is mine
 Won't be dead get in line, your side of the fence has been defined
 At the cross roads where the life and death are intertwined
 Singin' to the man in black, so long my clementine
 There's a train on the mountain
 Burnin' coal, runnin' fast
 'Round the way I can hear it
 As it's comin' on down the tracks
 It's old but it's strong, keeps movin' on
 It shakes the leaves and the grass
 The train is all black, like the man from the past
 The ghost of old Johnny Cash
