Mama said, "Stay away from the train yard children
Don't be play' on them tracks
Those old big devils can sneak up on ya
And run you down just like that"

Well little brother jonah don't heed her warning
Tried to chase a fast one down
I can still hear the words my mama was crying
As we laid him in the ground, she said

Why does somebody always have to die
Before people listen, and open up their eyes
There ain't no need for hurtin'.
or the bloody tears we cry
So why does somebody always have to die

Mr. White-collar in an uptown high-rise
Finishing a twelve hour day
A double tall glass of tequila sunrise
Takes a little stress away

Well he came around the corner doing 87
Swerving all over the place
He sent a five-year-old straight to Heaven
And never even touched his brakes

Why does somebody always have to die

Before people listen, and open up their eyes
There ain't no need for hurtin'.
or the bloody tears we cry
So why does somebody always have to die

There once was a carpenter living in Nazareth
Said He was the Son of Gos
Said He came here to free the captive
And bring faith to the lost

Well He tried to tell him all about life eternal
But they just wouldn't believe
And He said "Father won't you please forgive them"
As they nailed Him to the tree

Why does somebody always have to die
Before people listen, and open up their eyes
There ain't no need for hurtin'.
or the bloody tears we cry
So why does somebody always have to die

Mama said, "Stay away from the train yard children
Don't be play' on them tracks
Those old big devils can sneak up on ya
And run you down just like that"
