My fingers on frets, my head's on the rail
Before the train comes I will tell a tale
While I write my last song and play my last tune
Anyway my ballad will be over soon
(refrain)
So if you have a minute ,won't you listen to my song
Of how I lost my love, because the world done me wrong
I promise I will sing it fast, so it won't take me long
I know some folks won't listen, cuz they're not that strong
Once I was an outlaw when I stole for fun
Then I had to steal just to stay on the run
Running from the truth, then from the law
I was the fastest fool that they ever saw
(refrain)
I could steal your money before I took your heart
Not a jack of all trades, but a master at my art
When I hear that train comming that's all she wrote
Lord, I know this song must end on a sad note
Lord, I know this song must end on a sad note
