THIS TRAIN
THIS TRAIN TAKES WHORES AND GAMBLERS
It was the Summer I ran off & joined the rodeo
Been watching too much Rifleman Fell hard
for Mark and on a lark jumped a train to San Antonio
This hobo life worked for Jack & Woody
But a girl from suburbia? Maybe stick to blue
mustangs and local buses ‘Cause Mark was a shit heel anyway –
Oh. Ah, Gold, Honey, I’ve lost my way.
225th Chorus Kerouac 1955
