7 Hours out of Detroit
Read my Bible on the train
Didn't plan to get off in Alto
I didn't plan to give away my name
Last stop before Grand Rapids
Why has the lord forsaken me?
She spotted me from the platform, she said
Mister, you gon' marry me?
I don't love you Lucy Skidmore
Please, do not take my name
I don't love you Lucy Skidmore
Please put me back on that train
Big n' loud n' funny
Big as, like an old oak tree
She starts to drinkin'
Well shes just big and loud and mean
She said
I named this town Alto
It means, do not fuck with me
Goin' down to the church right now
Where you can drown in Platlake Creek
And I will see to it
I don't love you Lucy Skidmore
Please do not take my name
I don't love you Lucy Skidmore
Please put me back on that train
We were married for 50 years
Before the lord called her home
I visit her grave every day
So she won't be alone
We had some bad times, but
We had some good
Sure do miss her cooking
And I didnt treat her like I should
I love you Lucy Skidmore
Why has God forsaken me?
He took the only thing that ever mattered
I miss Lucy Skidmore the same
Yes, I love you Lucy Skidmore
I'm proud you took my name
Please tell God you need me beside you
Please come get me off this Train
