Lyrics
Well I am the last of the great train robbers I've had my day, now I spend my hours Looking for the road that leads to the gold My eyes got bad and my aim got worse Shot in my arm, well that was a first I shoulda left this game, cuz I'm not the same Last of the great train robbers Last of the great train robbers Once upon a time that money was mine Now I see I'm down to my very last dime I gotta get somewhere that's not so near My time has gone and passed me by Lost myself in one last lie To stay alive, in this one-horse dive Shared my thoughts with the man at the bar He took my words just a little too far And led me away, for the rest of my days Well I am the last of the great train robbers I've had my day now I spend my hours In this 8-foot cell, gotta leave this hell
