So you're telling me you guys made it 13 pages deep into a thread called "Train Songs" without anyone posting "Train Song"?

I know I posted a Tom Waits song, I think it was that one but I’m too lazy to go back and look.

Ah, no, it was "Downtown Train," I saw that. This thread could just be all Tom Waits train references, he uses the line "money's just something you throw off the back of a train" at least twice in different songs and namechecks every major line from the last century I believe.

EDIT: handy reference point someone compiled, ‘I Lived my Life on Dreams and Trainsmoke’ – Tom Waits & Trains. I forgot about "Down There by the Train" and "Clang Boom Steam" as obvious choices.
