๐ Lyrics
Well, a man in a Cadillac used to come around here
Lookin' for a long black train
Said his baby left town with an engineer
Cut across the midnight rain, boys
Straight across the midnight rain
Now everybody said he'd been in Vietnam
When he was pretty young
That's where his buddy got killed when his rifle jammed
Now the fighting ain't never done, boys
Now the fighting ain't never done
Red tip while the cigarette glowin'
Windows up against the rain
Night so dark, there was nothin' else showin'
Nobody knew his name, boys
Nobody knew his name
Sheriff would run him off every once in a while
But he would be right back
With a cup of coffee, an old newspaper
Sitting by the side of the tracks, boys
Cryin' by the side of the tracks
He'd try to keep from turnin' the tables
Hired walkin' horses out at Suffolk Downs
But there was always some whiskey back at the stables
If you knew where to look around, boys
If you knew where to look around.
Red tip of a cigarette glowin'
Windows up against the rain
Night so dark, there was nothin' else showin'
But nobody knew his name, boys
Nobody knew his name
Slingin' Pizza and Beer
Down at Waterfront Park
Handicappin' dogs for the clientele
A different pick for each one
Yeah, it didn't matter who won
Somebody gonna tip him well, boys
Somebody gonna tip him well
Well, they found him in his Cadillac car
Out behind the old farm store
He was sittin' there like he was goin' somewhere
And he wasn't comin' back no more, boys
He wasn't comin' back no more
Lookin' for a long black train
Said his baby left town with an engineer
Cut across the midnight rain, boys
Straight across the midnight rain
Now everybody said he'd been in Vietnam
When he was pretty young
That's where his buddy got killed when his rifle jammed
Now the fighting ain't never done, boys
Now the fighting ain't never done
Red tip while the cigarette glowin'
Windows up against the rain
Night so dark, there was nothin' else showin'
Nobody knew his name, boys
Nobody knew his name
Sheriff would run him off every once in a while
But he would be right back
With a cup of coffee, an old newspaper
Sitting by the side of the tracks, boys
Cryin' by the side of the tracks
He'd try to keep from turnin' the tables
Hired walkin' horses out at Suffolk Downs
But there was always some whiskey back at the stables
If you knew where to look around, boys
If you knew where to look around.
Red tip of a cigarette glowin'
Windows up against the rain
Night so dark, there was nothin' else showin'
But nobody knew his name, boys
Nobody knew his name
Slingin' Pizza and Beer
Down at Waterfront Park
Handicappin' dogs for the clientele
A different pick for each one
Yeah, it didn't matter who won
Somebody gonna tip him well, boys
Somebody gonna tip him well
Well, they found him in his Cadillac car
Out behind the old farm store
He was sittin' there like he was goin' somewhere
And he wasn't comin' back no more, boys
He wasn't comin' back no more
