The Stone Foxes - Pa**enger Train lyrics

You say I'm an evil man For stealin' from a pa**enger 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 [Chorus] 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 pa**enger 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 [Chorus] 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 pa**enger 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 [Chorus] 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
