Lyrics
Well I am the last of the great train robbers
I've had my day, now I spend my hours
Looking for the road that leads to the gold
My eyes got bad and my aim got worse
Shot in my arm, well that was a first
I shoulda left this game, cuz I'm not the same
Last of the great train robbers
Last of the great train robbers
Once upon a time that money was mine
Now I see I'm down to my very last dime
I gotta get somewhere that's not so near
My time has gone and passed me by
Lost myself in one last lie
To stay alive, in this one-horse dive
Shared my thoughts with the man at the bar
He took my words just a little too far
And led me away, for the rest of my days
Well I am the last of the great train robbers
I've had my day now I spend my hours
In this 8-foot cell, gotta leave this hell
