Brake a Train

Woke up this morning singing this song, inexplicably.

Here's the chorus:

Brake a Train (Cliff Eberhardt)

And my heart feels just as caloused
As some old breakman's hands
Been on the job for years
He still don't understand
Why the towns fade away like lovers
His life has let him down
You can brake a train you can break a heart
But you never learn to like the sound



The lyrics are perfect, I think. It is true: I have never learned to like the sound.
