lyrics and song by Jeff Englehart

lyrics

Fifteen years of booze and drugs
will put a burden on the brain
Fifteen years of fast women
will drive a man insane.
Fifteen years will wear you down
with whiskey and cocaine
Now that westbound train is calling out my name.

The preacher came and told me son
You better change your ways
I've been thrown in jail so many times
I began to like the stay
Now nothing's gonna save me
not Jesus or A.A.
That westbound train is calling out my name

Yes I've traveled down so many roads
but never found my way
I saw nothing but those dead end signs
on my doomed itinerary
my only hope is those neon lights
along the lost highway
That westbound train is calling out my name

It's whiskey, beer, and cigarettes
to get me through the day
This goddamn word is driving me insane.
I got one foot on the ladder
the other's in the grave
That westbound train is calling out my name.

Once upon a time I fell in love
with a handsome fine lady
she stole my heart she stole my smokes
and ran off with my money
Now the only kissing I ever do
is on a bottle of Beam
Yes I'm loaded up, Kentucky drunk
When I ride that westbound train.

This is just a drinking song
don't listen to what I say
My crooked tongue and blasphemy
will only lead a man astray
I know I'm headed hell bound
on my drunk and final day
That westbound train is calling out my name.

Yes I know I'm going straight to hell
so get the hell out of my way.
For the devil he's conducting
on that one way west bound train.
