Outbound Train

Tellin' tales and spinnin' yarns
Reason fails gotta make up stories
Roll them dice and deal them cards
Trouble never said, "I'm sorry"

Tellin' time by cigarette
Sun comes up on one last bet
Can't leave 'til I make some change
to buy a one way ticket on an outbound train

One eyed Jack and Bad Boy Cruz
thought sellin' crack would make 'em millions
Now they're sportin' cement shoes
Trouble don't care if you're willin'

Tellin' time by cigarette
Sun comes up on one last bet
Can't leave 'til I make some change
to buy a one way ticket on an outbound train

One man lies and one believes
each one dies so what's the difference?
The truth is what no lie deceives
Trouble offers no forgiveness

Tellin' time by cigarette
Searchin' for that secret yet
But I'll find asylum for the sane
with my one way ticket on an outbound train
