  • Saw a freight train yesterday
    It was chugging, plugging away
    'Cross a river trestle so high
    Just a boxcar blue
    Showing daylight clear through
    Just an empty trainload of sky

    Well, it hit me and it hurt me
    Made my good humor desert me
    For a moment I was tempted to fly
    To the devil or the Lord
    As it hung there like a sword
    Just an empty trainload of sky

    Was it spirit? Was it solid?
    Did I ditch that class in college?
    Pulled the curtain from my eye
    I said hey hey, my my

    Saw a freight train yesterday
    It was chugging, plugging away
    Just an empty trainload of sky
    Just an empty trainload of sky
    Just an empty trainload of sky Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
