lyrics

Cushion Rider

I took a hard look over the trail
Made my way down to the tracks and put my ear on the rail
Sounds like the number nine engine’s 20 minutes away
Put the pennies down for my girl chug an ale and wait
It’s a long bed of creosote and iron
Pick up loose spikes and blast caps on our way down the line
Neighbors roll by on four wheels with ice
Weighing down the coolers but not for a long time
Then the rumble of the cars makes the earth shake
And the car toad checks the wheels of the crib
I search for the sleeper car and I wait with a rose
Yeah she’s a cushion rider
And I’m holding her against the brass
We stare at the skyrockets through the window
We’re on the high iron fixing for speed
Hook her up and pull her tail, I want the beanery queen
She says, “So, buddy, do you do on the slide?”
All darky, no sparky this runner’s gone by
