Verse 1
In the basement while she's talking
To someone long distance
And as he's slowly sippin'
He thinks about his children
And the heart attacks

Since he got on with the railroad
And he's been on with the railroad

For a long and lonesome lonesome while
But the day that he retires

On the back you have been breakin'

Tryin' to earn peace of mind
Verse 3
And saves a little money
On the makeup she's been usin'
And she sits and watches TV
Usually every evening
If there ain't some kind of ballgame
Verse 4
While her family's still snorin'
And as she burns the Eggo's

She looks back at her life
That heart she broke in high school

Verse 5
She's running with this fella
That he cannot stand the thought of
He's told her he best never
See the two of them together
But it's hard to keep an eye on her
Verse 6
And the bills the bank keeps sendin'
Lord, the zeros on the end
F/A
Bb
Keep pushing further to the right
Like a freight train haulin' sorrow
