Pain Train
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Train, comin' too fast
Pain, is it really gonna last
And you still refuse to see.
We love the dollar more than the collar
That Daddy used to wear
We love to holler more than the dollar
So take us to the fair.
We love the preacher more than the teacher
We used to have in school
We saw the teacher marry the preacher
Who do you think's the fool?
Can't you hear it like a train, comin' too fast
Pain, is it really gonna last
And you still refuse to see.
