about

This is the first song Rob, Paul L and Peter Davies wrote together in Rob's garage studio.

lyrics

Rolling the boxcars, rolling the boxcars
Find me an angel to bless my bones

Well the Saginaw Chippewa welcomed me in
To the new Soaring Eagle, like an old long lost friend
Turned my last pay check into green chips and gin

Digging for copper on the Yellow Dog Plains
Kennecott's got me for a year and a day
But tonight's alright, I'm the shooter again

Rolling the boxcars, rolling the boxcars
Throwing the hard way to get me back home
Rolling the boxcars, rolling the boxcars
Find me an angel to bless my bones

I kept throwing numbers, Big Red stayed away
I was the hero, king for a day 
The eye in the sky didn't see things my way

Fifty on the yo, stickman's got to go
And the house always knows when to mess with my mojo
When I threw the first punch, it was the last thing I'd throw

Rolling...

Isabella County Jail is mighty cold when you can't make bail
They were on me so fast, covering the cash
At least I'll never go down that black mining shaft

For a year's good behavior I'll be back on my way
And the warden says "Boy, keep a-counting your days"
But there's a game on the yard if you've something to play
