Verse 1 (Blues):
Had my last dollar folded in my boot
Whiskey in my belly and sin in my suit
I prayed for mercy at the station stairs
But the devil came 'round… and took my train fare

Verse 2 (Blues):
Ticket in my hand, heart full of flame
Tryin’ to outrun guilt and a bloodstained name
Conductor said “Boy, you ain't goin' nowhere”
'Cause the devil showed up… and took my train fare

🎤 Rap Verse (Dark, Slow Flow – Dusty Southern Bounce):
Pockets turned out, soul ran thin,
Deal made cheap on a backroom whim
I shook a cold hand, thought it meant escape
But all it bought me was rust and fate

Now I’m stuck in a town with no name sign,
Where clocks don’t tick and the church won’t chime
Crossroads laughin’ like it just don’t care—
'Cause the devil cashed out with my train fare

Chorus (Blues):
Oooooh Lord, I ain't got no ride
Stranded at the edge where the lost ones hide
Track’s gone cold, and the smoke ain’t there—
The devil came ‘round…
And took my train fare

Bridge (Spoken Blues + Harmonica Fade-In):
He wore a grin like a rusted blade,
Said “Redemption? Boy, that price been paid.”
Left me hummin’ low in the midnight air—
Alone… with no train, and no prayer

Final Chorus (Blues + Rap Ad-libs):
Oooooh Lord, my boots feel thin
Walkin’ this world where the wrong don’t end
No whistle, no hope, just a cold blank stare—
'Cause the devil done smiled…
And took my train fare

(soft spoken outro)
“Next time I run… I’ll walk.”

THE DEVIL TOOK MY TRAIN FARE
