Mark Knopfler Lyrics for Song: Gravy Train
 Lyrics for Album: America's Sweethearts [original soundtrack] [2001]
 
 
 
 27219>Well they fly past the ghettos and the factories
 
 Ridin' on the Gravy Train
 
 Leaving all the places that they really ought to be
 
 Ridin' on the Gravy Train
 
 Past the coal mines black and scarred
 
 Starter houses in the loading yard
 
 On the Gravy Train, On the Gravy Train
 
 
 
 There's the lucky little mothers in their luxury cars
 
 Ridin' on the Gravy Train
 
 Never thank each other or their lucky stars
 
 Ridin' on the Gravy Train
 
 That's worse than ingratitude
 
 Worse than a piss poor attitude
 
 
 
 On the Gravy Train, Gravy Train
 
 
 
 Well the hanger-uppers and the hangers-on
 
 Ridin' on the Gravy Train
 
 Champagne suppers with their daggers all drawn
 
 Ridin' on the Gravy Train
 
 Some act tough, some act rude
 
 Some bit of fluff complain about the food
 
 You wanna see somebody getting really rude
 
 Get on the Gravy Train, Gravy Train
 
 
 
 Well the golden goose is clattering-a-down the track,
 
 And they're gonna be ridin' in an old caboose
 
 Coming back
 
 
 
 There's the soldiers of fashion on the hit parade
 
 Ridin' on the Gravy Train
 
 Tongue lashing with the bitch brigade
 
 Ridin' on the Gravy Train
 
 Freeloader licks my boots
 
 Tells me how he digs my suit
 
 You got lucky son, don't get cute
 
 Get on the Gravy Train
