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
