Lyrics:
- Driving that train, high on cocaine,
- Casey Jones is ready, watch your speed.
- Trouble ahead, trouble behind,
- And you know that notion just crossed my mind.
- This old engine makes it on time,
- Leaves Central Station 'bout a quarter to nine,
- Hits River Junction at seventeen to,
- At a quarter to ten you know it's travlin' again.
- Driving that train, high on cocaine,
- Casey Jones is ready, watch your speed.
- Trouble ahead, trouble behind,
- And you know that notion just crossed my mind.
- Trouble ahead, Lady in red,
- Take my advice you'd be better off dead.
- Switchman's sleeping, train hundred and two is
- On the wrong track and headed for you.
- Driving that train, high on cocaine,
- Trouble ahead, trouble behind,
- And you know that notion just crossed my mind.
- Trouble with you is the trouble with me,
- Got two good eyes but you still don't see.
- Come round the bend, you know it's the end,
- The fireman screams and the engine just gleams...
