My Texas Quote of the Day this morning featured Lubbock fiddler and singer/songwriter Amanda Shires, whom I recently discovered. Heres one of her songs, along with the lyrics. https://youtube/watch?v=N53rN5J24Tg I was dreaming I was tied to a train track twisting in the sun Burning up hoping the trains hadnt quit rolling I was ready for it to be done But when you need a train it never comes I woke up to you wearing your winter coat Youre leaving everything here but your phone And I leaned out the window but the tracks below Were quiet, calm, and cold When you need a train it never comes When you need a train it never comes The union pacific is due for a visit And believe me I got a plan But the plans no good without the train And when you need a train it never comes When you need a train it never comes Standing in the kitchen with all the dirty dishes You left a lot of things here undone The washers leaking and the porch lights broken Things you said youd get around to I could use a distraction and the noise of the engine Its rumblin would at least be a break From these thoughts screaming and your voice haunting The only thing louder is trains The only thing louder is trains The union pacific is due for a visit And believe me I got a plan But the plans no good without the train And when you need a train it never comes When you need a train it never comes Crying in the sweater you gave me in this weather- What am I supposed to do? You cant leave me with your things as some sort of trade Cuz youre wanting something new Its mean and its cruel. The union pacific is due for a visit And believe me I got a plan But the plans no good without the train And when you need a train it never comes When you need a train it never comes
