Westbound Number Nine

[02:47.67] WESTBOUND #9
[02:47.85] The Flaming Ember
[02:48.00] Catching the westbound number nine
[02:48.13] Gonna leave this town, leave it far behind
[02:48.34] Gonna leave while I've got my peace of mind
[02:48.56] On the westbound number nine
[02:48.69] Sittin' on the bank of Holy Creek down by the county line
[02:48.88] I can hear the sound of Old Boss and Lazy Horse--he's howlin' right on time
[02:49.00] He's howlin' at the sound of the #9 comin' down the line
[02:49.29] And my mind catches a ride on the westbound number nine
[02:49.36] And my mind catches a ride on the westbound number nine
[02:49.54] Catching the westbound number nine
[02:49.69] Gonna leave this town, leave it far behind
[02:49.89] Gonna leave while I've got my peace of mind
[02:50.03] On the westbound number nine
[02:50.10] My Pa is with his moonshine friends
[02:50.36] Drinkin Deacon Jones' bathtub gin
[02:50.59] Deacon Jones preachin' about savin' souls
[02:50.67] Yellin' out how the whole town is full of sin
[02:50.89] But like Pa and all the rest
[02:51.04] He tries to look down Bobbie Sue's low-cut dress
[02:51.10] And my mind catches a ride on the westbound number nine
[02:51.31] And my mind catches a ride on the westbound number nine
[02:51.59] Ma, I see you're ashamed to look me in the face
[02:51.61] As if I was nothing but a past mistake
[02:51.82] Sittin' there at night when Pa comes stumblin' in
[02:52.00] Full of the Deacon's bathtub gin
[02:52.13] Swearin' and a-cussin' that I wasn't no kin
[02:52.35] I heard his name but Ma knows what he should have been
[02:52.40] Westbound number nine
[02:52.62] Gonna leave this town, leave it far behind
[02:52.82] Gonna leave while I've got my peace of mind
[02:52.95] On the westbound number nine
[02:53.12] Catching the westbound number nine
[02:53.36] Gonna leave this town, leave it far behind
[02:53.40] Gonna leave while I've got my peace of mind
[02:53.69] On the westbound number nine
