Ben Kweller - Penny On The Train Track lyrics

I'm just a penny on the train track Waitin' for my judgement day Come on baby girl let me see those legs Before I get flattened away I wait Yeah, I wait For something good, for something great Stoppin' in somebody's old home town Gotta get that midnight meal If you can't get behind your own life Get behind the driving wheel And go, just go Find a place that you don't know Ran 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 dropped I see, I see All the things that I should be Oh baby dance with me! Even lucky man has a bad day And pretty girl has a scar After that train comes and takes me away Pick up that guitar And play, just play Play that rock and roll for me He's in the yard just washin' his car Thinkin' 'bout his pretty wife Makin' lemonade with the kitchen aid Makin' him a perfect life And it's grim, so dim When you wish that you were just like him I'm just a penny on the train track Waitin' for my judgement day Come on baby girl let me see those legs Before I get flattened away I wait, I wait For something good, for something great And I try, oh I try I can't stop, I don't know why
