about

written on the texas eagle, during a 32 hour train trip thru texas after they decided to stop the train and conduct a drug raid. Prior to stopping, the conductor (who was sure it was the musicians who were smoking) kept coming by and warning us to stop smoking marijuana on the train and suggested baked goods for the next trip.
next day a fellow rider apologized that he couldn't share any smoke with me, cuz when the raid started he'd secreted his stash in his ass and forgot & it got flushed. i was not sorry not to smoke the ass weed.

lyrics

there's no smoking marijuana on this train
there's no smoking marijuana on this train
they'll stop and throw your ass off
leave you stranded in Alpine Texas
there's no smoking marijuana on this train

y'all can play that guitar on this train
y'all can play that guitar on this train
but you gotta keep it down for all the
people sleeping round you
but y'all can play that guitar on the train

but y'all can't smoke your reefers on this train
y'all can't smoke your reefers on this train
just bake it in a brownie
if you gotta bring it on here
'cause y'all can't smoke your reefers on this train

you best look like a gringo on this train
you best look like a gringo on this train
or storm troopers in El Paso
will demand to see your papers
if you don't look like a gringo on this train

the kids had all the hotdogs they could eat
the kids had all the hotdogs they could eat
after the drug raid when we
got back on the train
the kids threw up the hotdogs on their seat

and the cars smell like an outhouse on this train
the cars smell like an outhouse on this train
three days out from L.A.
the Texas Eagle sure is smelly
and the cars smell like an outhouse on this train

we don't care 'bout your perscription on this train
we don't care 'bout your perscription on this train
don't matter what your doctor sez
it ain't legal in texas
there's no smoking marijuana on this train

there's no smoking marijuana on this train
there's no smoking marijuana on this train
if the conducter suspects you
then the police will collect you
there's no smoking marijuana on this train
