Stuck in a rut? This song's for you!

lyrics

Rusty Train
WJ Kesel
Key: A
Tempo: 139 BPM


Verse 1:
A7#9
My wheels have been turnin
But I've been gettin' no where

Dm7
All these other crackers
A7
Seem like they're already there

E7 D7
I keep on workin harder but l just can't find
A7
The starter no where.

I take a look around me
See what the problem might be

Everything is rusty
Far as the eye can see

I'm sittin in a siding
And the train that I am riding is a
Rusty train!

Chorus:
A7
I'm on a rusty train

I think I've gone insane

I'll never make it to the next train stop

D7
All the years of rain and oxidation at the station
A7
Keep me sittin here round the clock

E7 D7
I gotta get up, get up, get up
A7 E7
On off this rusty train

Verse 2:
I look down at my shoes lookin for some clues
and I see a rusty hole in the floor

I can see the track, ya know somethin Jack,
It don't go no where anymore

Then an idea struck like I was hit by a truck
I gotta get down to the hardware store.

I need an oil can, I need a brillo pad, I need a can of
rust-o-leum

I need a great big grease gun momma

I need some janitor in a drum

If your life is in a tatter and you think it doesn't
matter

it's a rusty train

Chorus

Solo Guitar:

Bridge 1:

Get on a bus Gus

Get on a plane Jane

Get on a bike Ike

Ya gotta keep on movin

On a ship Chip

On a truck Buck

You'll be in luck Chuck

don't get woozie suzy

ya gotta get, get up, get up
on off this rusty train

Solo 2 Organ:

Bridge 2:
Get on a trike Ike

Get on a train Shane

Hit the trail Dale,
ya gotta keep on movin'

on a barge Marge

in some cars Lars

you're in charge Sarge,
keep it movin' Van Leuvan

gotta get up, get ip, get up
on off that rusty train...

Chorus:
Solo Hatmonica:

Tag Ending:
