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
