A Glass of Ice

A Glass of Ice

I'm takin' the train and I ain't comin' back,
Just watch as I pull out down the track.
I've packed all my bags and paid my fares.
And I'm leavin' behind my woes and cares.

I've traded all my love for a bottle of booze,
Just another sip and I'll take me a snooze.
Ain't no use cryin' over things that I've done,
The past is the past and it serves no one.

My heart beats for me, and me alone.
You ain't 'bout to hear me bitch and moan.
I've given all I could and I paid the price.
I'd sell my soul for a glass of ice.

It takes a real type of person to lay down for love.
To withstand the pangs and the turmoils of,
A heart that could get all battered and slammed,
So I'll be on my way or I'll be damned.

When you hear the rattle coming off the track,
It won't be long before you see the smokestack.
And then when the whistle hollers at the sky,
You can rest assured that I'll wave goodbye.

My heart beats for me, and me alone.
You ain't 'bout to hear me bitch and moan.
I've given all I could and I paid the price.
I'd sell my soul for a glass of ice.

My heart beats for me, and me alone.
You ain't 'bout to hear me bitch and moan.
I've given all I could and I paid the price.
I'd sell my soul for a glass of ice.
