Lyrics Fallen off a Rock - Seasick Steve

Fallen off a Rock

Well, the ASEA moves to Memphis
On the Burlington Northern line
It moves so slow
You’d have to be deaf and blind
To have the train leave you behind
Kinda like
Fallen off a rock
Fallen off a rock
Fallen off a rock in train time
There’s a flophouse over on South Maine
Called the Frank James Hotel
They got some ugly women there to take you to heaven
A few gonna take you to hell
Kinda like
Fallen off a rock
Fallen off a rock
Fallen off a rock in train time
Catch out up to St. Louis
Maybe they’ll give me a job
Stay right there at the mission
Haven’t had a talk with God
Kinda like
Fallen off a rock
Fallen off a rock
Fallen off a rock in train time
Well, the police have got my number
They had me for vagrancy
I went to their hotel down on Monroe
Felt their hospitality
Kinda like
Fallen off a rock
Fallen off a rock
Fallen off a rock in train time
Catch out up to St. Louis
Maybe they’ll give me a job
Stay right there at the mission
Haven’t had a talk with God
Kinda like
Fallen off a rock
Fallen off a rock
Fallen off a rock in train time
Crunching on the cinders, looking for an empty
Hmmm-hmmm
Drinking my red wine, checking the high line
Hmmm-hmmm
Kinda like
Fallen off a rock
Fallen off a rock
Fallen off a rock in train time
In freight train time
Please don’t let me die alone
Hey, freight train
Please, don’t let me die alone, oh, die alone
Oh take me home
It’s a freight train
Now, a freight train
