twenty on high - drayton farley lyrics

[verse 1]
thirty*five minutes into monday
i’m crossing that old state line
headed out east with the railway
to the mountains of north caroline

[verse 2]
it’s another d*mn week on the railroad
it’s another d*mn lonesome night
one of these days, i’ma head home
one of these days i might
[chorus]
pay a little more respect to the body that i’m in
take a little less off of the edge
what did you expect of an adolescent kid
who was all out of allegiance to pledge?
what did you expect of a runaway train
on a busted up mainline rail?
what did you think he would have to say
if he decided there’s a story to tell?

[verse 3]
there’s thirty*five reasons for the bottle now
i’m thirty f*cking counties away
slipping off deep to the nothingness
couldn’t even speak if i had something to say

[verse 4]
these thoughts, they’re all self*critical
there’s two pounds left of the trigger pull
this ain’t it, there’s got to be something else
get out now before i lose myself

[chorus]
and pay a little more respect to the body that i’m in
take a little less off of the edge
what did you expect of an adolescent kid
who was all out of allegiance to pledge?
what did you expect of a runaway train
on a busted up mainline rail?
what did you think he would have to say
if he decided there’s a story to tell?
[outro]
thirty*five minutes into monday
i’m crossing that old state line
headed out east with the railway
mountains of north caroline
