[Verse 1]
When I was a young man
Lord, didn't I know it all
When I was young like you, honest
Lord, I knew it all
So if you listen to an old dog bark
You might see them holes before you fall

[Verse 2]
Yeah, I'm gonna drop somethin' on you
Then I'm gonna move on out
I'm gonna lay somethin' on you
Then I'm gonna ease on out
And you can take it or leave it
But I know what I'm talkin' about

[Chorus]
'Cause I done felt the pain
And I've been caught in the damned old rain
Lord, it's hard to get off the old white train
Well, the old white train costs a lot to ride
Your soul, your heart and even your pride
And it'll damn sure forevermore freeze your brain
Take a little advice, stay away from the cocaine train

[Interlude]
Here it comes now
Oh, bring it on Earth now but don't make it too hard
[Chorus]
Yeah, I done felt the pain
And I've been caught in the damned old rain
Lord, it's hard to get off the old white train
Well, the old white train costs a lot to ride
Your soul, your heart and even your pride
And it'll damn sure forevermore, honey, freeze your brain
Take a little advice, stay away from the cocaine train
I'ma tell you one more time, here it goes
Take a little advice, stay away from the cocaine train
Cocaine train
