Beat Up Ford 02:26

I was cruisin’ on the back roads Headin’ for the 75 Not worryin’ ‘bout nothin’ Just happy bein’ alive Got the radio playin’ some good old blues Ain’t never been a winner, so I just can’t lose Happy drivin’ my beat up Ford Happy drivin’ my beat up Ford I ain’t thinkin’ ‘bout the devil Ain’t thinkin; about the lord Don’t need no Ferrari Leave me my beat up Ford Got my baby in the front, my guitar in the back Maybe she ain’t pretty, but I get her in the sack Happy drivin’ my beat up Ford Happy drivin’ my beat up Ford God bless old Henry, he’s made me such a happy man And I drive her every day And I drive her just as fast as I can Ain’t nothin’ fancy, got no overdrive But cruisin’ with my baby Wooh, I’m alive! Happy drivin’ my beat up Ford Happy drivin’ my beat up Ford Beat up Ford Beat up Ford Beat up Ford Beat up Ford

Toast crumbs in the butter when I got up Barista spelled my name wrong on my coffee cup The yolk’s too hard On my artisan poached egg First world problem blues Are messing with my head My dog doesn’t match the colour of my chair I really don’t like the way the barber cut my hair My cleaner isn’t here And the bin is nearly full First world problem blues Are seriously un-cool First world problems, I don’t know where to start I know you think it’s crazy, it cuts me to the heart I can’t be happy I can’t be complete So many things in my life Have got me beat I can’t find the end on this roll of tape The shop doesn’t stock my favourite kind of vape Got coins instead of notes In my change First world problem blues I’m totally deranged First world problems, I don’t know where to start I know you think it’s crazy, it cuts me to the heart I can’t be happy I can’t be complete So many things in my life Have got me beat First world problems, I don’t know where to start I know you think it’s crazy, it cuts me to the heart I can’t be happy I can’t be complete So many things in my life Have got me beat Someone coiled my cables up all the wrong way Can’t charge my phone to last the whole of the day My towels don’t match And the shower’s always cold First world problem blues Now I’ve been put on hold First world problems, I don’t know where to start I know you think it’s crazy, it cuts me to the heart I can’t be happy I can’t be complete So many things in my life Have got me beat I can’t be happy I can’t be complete So many things in my life Have got me beat

I keep on hanging on But I know I won’t be long I’m her temporary man I love my baby, there’s no doubt She beats the other girls without a shout But whenever we are out Her rovin’ eye starts roamin’ about I’m her temporary man I know I’m her temporary man I keep on hangin’ on But I know it won’t be long I’m her temporary man I keep her near, and I hold her hand I try to make her understand She don’t need no other man I’ll give her all the lovin’ that she can demand I’m her temporary man I know I’m her temporary man I keep on hangin’ on But I know it won’t be long I’m her temporary man I know she keeps on calling She knows I keep on falling That’s why she keeps on calling me Her kissin’s good when it’s just her and I Lovin’ so sweet I wanna curl up and die But she can’t help but smile at some other guy I can’t keep her mine no matter how hard I try I’m her temporary man I know I’m her temporary man I keep on hangin’ on But I know it won’t be long I’m her temporary man I keep on hangin’ on But I know it won’t be long I’m her temporary man I keep on hangin’ on But I know it won’t be long I’m her temporary man

Working all day in this cold, dark city My back is broke and I can’t get no pity I miss my home and I miss my life I don’t see my friends and it cuts me like a knife But that all changes when the clock turns five ‘Cos when it does I’ll know I’m alive They all ask, “What are you doin’ today?” I just long to turn and say I’m goin’ back, where I’m not alone I’m goin’ back, way down home I’m goin’ back, goin’ back down home Down home, where I belong Down home, where they made me strong Down home, never did me wrong Down home Down home, where I belong Down home, where they made me strong Down home, never did me wrong Down home This work is hard, it’ll be the death of me Takes me to places got no right to be My boss says, “Son, you gotta do much more.” So I stick it to the man, and I walk right out the door I’m goin’ back, where I’m not alone I’m goin’ back, way down home I’m goin’ back, goin’ back down home Down home, where I belong Down home, where they made me strong Down home, never did me wrong Down home Down home, where I belong Down home, where they made me strong Down home, never did me wrong Down home Down home, where I belong Down home, where they made me strong Down home, never did me wrong Down home Down home, where I belong Down home, where they made me strong Down home, never did me wrong Down home Down home Down home Down home

Whisky Bottle 03:07

You take the whisky bottle down from the shelf You pour one for your lover and one for yourself You stare across the table at an empty chair Then have to drink them both because there’s nobody there It’s a hard time When you have to drink alone It’s a bad time When you’re living on your own Such a sad time The worst you’ve ever known But you have to understand That your little bird has flown You walk the streets alone ‘til after dark You watch lovers walking in the park Sitting on a bench with the night drawing in It’s another game of chance you just can’t win It’s a hard time When you have to drink alone It’s a bad time When you’re living on your own It’s such a sad time The worst you’ve ever known But you have to understand That your little bird has flown It’s a hard time When you have to drink alone It’s a bad time When you’re living on your own Such a sad time The worst you’ve ever known But you have to understand That she’s never coming home You take the whisky bottle down from the shelf You pour one for your lover and one for yourself You stare across the table at an empty chair Then have to drink them both because there’s nobody there Cos it’s a hard time When you have to drink alone It’s a bad time When you’re living on your own It’s a sad time The worst you’ve ever known But you have to understand That your little bird has flown It’s a hard time When you have to drink alone It’s a bad time When you’re living on your own It’s a sad time The worst you’ve ever known But you have to understand That she’s never coming home

You left me for the city And the arms of another man But I don’t need your pity ‘Cos I’m doing the best that I can Now I wander these lonely streets Just a lost and broken man I remember that night The night you closed the door I could tell by your eyes You didn’t want me any more Now my tears they won’t stop falling Down on this cold hard floor I’ve spent my whole life wondering Why you did these things to me I even went to see my doctor For some thing to set me free He said, “Son, there will never be a cure.” For those exit wounds that you gave me I’ve spent my whole life wondering Why you did these things to me I even went to see my doctor For some thing to set me free He said, “Son, there will never be a cure.” For those exit wounds that you gave me You left me for the city And the arms of another man I don’t need your pity ‘Cos I’m doing the best that I can Now I wander these lonely streets Just a lost ...

about

Chasin' the Train's debut album is the distillation of the talents of all the band members. Although it’s firmly rooted in the blues, elements of classic rock, jazz, punk, folk and - whisper it - prog make their presence felt. Energetic and intriguing, melodic, moody and diverse. The songs have been road-tested live, with regular gigging enabling the band to perfect their sound and build a strong reputation on the live circuit, as well as the respect of their fellow musicians.
