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...
