Tom Russell - The Next Thing Smokin'Lyrics

Well I live out in Southern Arizona I followed an abandoned railroad track Trains they used run from Bisby out to Juarez But the copper mines are closed and the trains ain't comin' back This here's the of stolen ponies Rattlesnakes and poison water wells Each god-forsaken mile leads right to heaven But tryin' to please that woman Was hell [Chorus] Put me on the next thing smokin' Put me on the next train out of here This heart ain't made for bein' broken Well she ain't my conductor and she ain't my engineer Put me on the next thing leavin' The northern or the southern hemisphere Put me on the next thing smokin' Put me on the next train outta here I'm bound to ride I got my pride I'm bound to ride I'm bound to ride I made it to the ghost town of Hachita I got drunk in the Hachita General store I passed the place Geronimo surrendered Well Geronimo he just couldn't take it anymore I'll hitchhike from Columbus to El Paso Where I can catch an Amtrak or a freight I've walked 300 miles across these bad-lands(yeah) buddy I have made my great escape [Chorus] Put me on the next thing smokin' Put me on the next train out of here This heart ain't made for bein' broken Well she ain't my conductor and she ain't my engineer Put me on the next thing leavin' The northern or the southern hemisphere Put me on the next thing smokin' Put me on the next train outta here I'm bound to ride I got my pride I'm bound to ride I'm bound to ride
