Verse 1
well i live out in Southern Arizona
I followed an abandoned railroad track
Trains they used run from Bisby out to Juarez
But the copper mines are closed and the trains ain't comin backThis heres the
of stolen ponies
Rattlesnakes and poison water wells
Each god-forsaken mile leads right to heavenBut tryin to please that woman
was hell
Chorus
Put me on the next thing smokin
Put me on the next train out of here
This heart ain't made for bein broken
Well she ain't my conductor and she aint my engineer
Put me on the next thing leavin
The northern or the southern hemisphere
Put me on the next thing smokin
Put me on the next train outta hereI'm bound to ride
I got my pride
I'm bound to ride
I'm bound to ride
(play the chorus chords again but without the words, like a solo)
Verse 2
I made it to the ghost town of Hachita
I got drunk in the Hachita General store
I passed the place Geronimo surrendered
Well Geronimo he just couldn't take it anymore
I'll hitchhike from Columbus to El Paso
Where I can catch an Amtrak or a freight
I've walked 300 miles across these bad-lands(yeah) buddy
I have made my great escape
Chorus
Put me on the next thing smokin
Put me on the next train out of here
This heart ain't made for bein broken
Well she ain't my conductor and she aint my engineer
Put me on the next thing leavin
The northern or the southern hemisphere
Put me on the next thing smokin
Put me on the next train outta hereI'm bound to ride
I got my pride
I'm bound to ride
I'm bound to ride
