What’s your song?

Union Pacific is due for a visit
And believe me . . .
I'm got a plan
But the plan's no good without the train
And when you need a train it never comes
And when you need a train it never comes

 
There's one in every crowd
For cryin' out loud
But why is it always turnin' out to be me?

Piano roll blues
I danced holes in my shoes
There just ain't another other way to be
For those loveable losers
And no-account boozers
And Honky Tonk Heroes
Like me

 
Rock me daddy,
Like my back ain't got no bone



Fun fact: That Cleveland DJ who coined the term "rock and roll" got it from this song.

 
More from Mama, sort of the eternal theme of my early morning pedal boat adventures . .
