Lyrics

Verse:
They arrested me on Tuesday, but I ain't done nothin' wrong
They arrested me on Tuesday, but I ain't done nothin' wrong
When I asked them what I'm in for, they just sing me a murder song
They sing

Chorus:
Tie you up on the train tracks
Leave you there 'til your blood runs cold
Tie you up on the train tracks
Leave you there 'til the reaper comes

Verse:
Well I recognized those lyrics, I wrote 'em after all
Well I recognized those lyrics, I wrote 'em after all
But I swear it's just a story, that tale couldn't get more tall

He asked me did you know him, with a picture in his hand
He asked me did you know him, with a picture in his hand
Well how could I deny it, when he used to be my man
Somebody

Chorus:
Tied him up on the train tracks
Left him there 'til his blood ran cold
Tied him up on the train tracks
Left him there 'til the reaper come
