Passenger Train - The Stone Foxes

You say I’m an evil man

For stealin' from a passenger train

But have mercy on this ol' boy

I sweat that I can explain

I took the diamond, from the safe of your soul

I dug deep and wide and put it down in a hole

I put it down there so nobody would know

That I tried to turn back but I couldn’t let go

Times were hard, they brought me down

At least I can say that I tried

Well I ain’t that bad, well I ain’t that good

I just did what I did to get by

I did what I did to get by

Though it wasn’t long ago

You said I would do what I done

That I’d bear the pain of the passenger train

And live my life on the run

I tried to hide from the things in my mind

The night time was cold but the darkness was kind

As I went down, and laid on my side

I closed my eyes and I dreamed that I died

Times were hard, they brought me down

At least I can say that I tried

Well I ain’t that bad, well I ain’t that good

I just did what I did to get by

I did what I did to get by

I did what I did to get by

I did what I did to get by

Though it was in infamy

I had my fortune and fame

After I robbed the passenger train

Nothin' was ever the same

My pockets were lined with the silver and gold

But the weight got heavy and I started to fold

I went to the steps of the ol' town hall

I said here’s all my money, you can have it all

Times were hard, they brought me down

At least I can say that I tried

Well I ain’t that bad, well I ain’t that good

I just did what I did to get by

I did what I did to get by

I did what I did to get by

I did what I did, I did what I did, I did what I did to get by

I did what I did to get by.

(You know I tried)

I did what I did to get by.

(Yeah I did)

I did what I did to get by

I did what I did to get by
