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 burnin' 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 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 out at 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 Letras de cancionesThere'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 burnin' 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 Started baskin' [?] 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 boys 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 the [?] They climb and claim it's the 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 life and death are intertwined Singin' to the man in black, so long my clemintine 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 burnin' 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 From Letras Mania
