Lyrics

Near Christmas time, my body got cold;
No heat in the house, and my boom box got sold!
I’m tapping my feet to the sound in my head,
Walked past a dealer with snaky dreads.
Feel down and dirty in all kinds of ways,
Like a broke actor on an empty stage.
Sure as one plus one is gonna take you to two,
The thunder-train comes roaring through!

Chorus:
You think you’re gonna break my heart,
You gonna spit it right out,
You gonna look it over,
Until I scream and shout,
You know I ain’t gonna run away,
Because I’m the thunder train!
I’m the thunder train!

All the days, living in the shack
So black and dismal, thought I’d never come back.
Rueben and Steve—and all your friends--
Pulling me down, they got to make amends!
Didn’t want to look bad in front of you guys:
But now I’ll treat ‘em like a mound of flies.
Sure as one plus one is gonna take you to two,
The thunder-train comes roaring through!

Chorus

You burned my bridge, but here I stand,
Swiggin’ justice with a lightning hand.
I don’t need to look the other way
And I’m still gonna dance today.
I’m the thunder train, down the track:
Thunder train: I won’t ever look back.
Sure as one plus one is gonna take you to two,
The thunder-train comes roaring through!


Chorus
