Lyrics

Step off this Track by Don Haddock ©2013

I got these leather boots walkin down the railroad track.
See that black smoke risin from a coal burner stack.
I got "Long Black Veil" runnin through my head,
And pictures of that women tied up on this track dead.
I better get my mind right before I go insane;
I better step on off this track or get hit by a train.....

That morning sun is in my eyes and I can't see a thing.
My head pounding like a jack and my legs are feelin strange.
I see the "Banks of Ohio" just like it's yesterday
And a women floatin face down, and I begin to pray
I better get my mind right before I go insane;
I better step on off this track or get hit by a train.....

Yea, I'm about to git my boot caught underneath this rail
And they'll be nothing left of me but a hillbilly trail
This alcohol is burnin in my gut like red hot coal
This anger and this fightin is tearin down my soul
Well I don't know nothing, but this is what I say.....
I better step on off this track or get hit by a train......

[Instrumental]

Well that big black train gets closer and I shake my fist in rage
The place this women's got me in's a prison or a cage
Yea "Johnny Cash" said "Folsom Prison" is the place I'll be
If I put a bullet in her head then maybe I'll be free.....
Yea, I better get my mind right before I go insane;
I better step on off this track or get hit by a train.....

Yea, I'm about to git my boot caught underneath this rail
And they'll be nothing left of me but a hillbilly trail
This alcohol is burnin in my gut like red hot coal
This anger and this fightin is tearin down my soul
Well I don't know nothing, but this is what I say.....
I better step on off this track or get hit by a train......
I better step on off this track or get hit by a train......
