lyrics

On the train down thru California
In a sleeper, we needed the rest
He sent me out, for booze and glasses
Forgot my cash, found him pressed against your chest

I pretended not to see
Sent him out for whiskey
Oh, sweet girl

No, no more, I’m done trying
It’s too heavy, and you are the light
His crime was not your doing
It wasn't right….what he did tonight
It’s not right…it’s not right

Back from the bar, I slip into his arms
Light up a joint, and turn on the charm
Lure him to the last car, with love
And as we cross the river bridge, I give him a shove

The train whistles with his screams
Blood and moonbeams
Oh, sweet girl

No, no more, drifting thru dreams
Eyes so heavy, breath so light
My girl, you'll soon be a woman
Was it right to end his life tonight?

Was it right?
