Schwa Lyrics

Lyricist: Phil Risko
Vocalist: Phil Risko

I woke up on a southbound train
I couldn’t even remember my name
What i saw when i got there
I had 5 bucks and a comb for my hair

I Jumped off on 65 south
Toward Mt Pleasant tennessee
I knew a guy with a place out there
I hope he’d let me stay for free

I got them railroad blues
It puts me in the mood
To head out to you
And come your way

I met a guy name tennessee Jed
He had no place where i could lay my head
He pointed me toward another way
I shook his hand and I said good day

I hopped a train toward lexington
So i could see JP and Lakin
To my surprise when i got there
I saw no soul not a bug in the air

I got them railroad blues
It puts me in the mood
To head out to you
And come your way

I headed out toward Louisville
Where i met ol’ Wild Bill
He doesn’t drink but sure can smoke
So light it up and take a toke

So that’s my trip and my story’s told
To make some friends where ever you roam
You gotta be kind and respectful
Karma’s a bitch and it’ll come two folds

I got them railroad blues
It puts me in the mood
To head out to you
And come your way
