America's Sweethearts movie - Gravy Train lyrics

Song by Mark Knopfler<br /><br>

Well they fly past the ghettos and the factories <br>

Ridin' on the Gravy Train <br>

Leaving all the places that they really ought to brave <br>

Ridin' on the Gravy Train <br>

Past the coal mines black and scarred <br>

Starter houses in the loading yard <br>

On the Gravy Train, On the Gravy Train <br>

<br>

There's the lucky little mothers in their luxury cars <br>

Ridin' on the Gravy Train <br>

Never thank each other or their lucky stars <br>

Ridin' on the Gravy Train <br>

That's worse than ingratitude <br>

Worse than a piss poor attitude <br>

<br>

On the Gravy Train, Gravy Train <br>

<br>

Well the hanger-uppers and the hangers-on <br>

Ridin' on the Gravy Train <br>

Champagne suppers with their daggers all drawn <br>

Ridin' on the Gravy Train <br>

Some act tough, some act rude <br>

Some bit of fluff complain about the food <br>

You wanna see somebody getting really rude <br>

Get on the Gravy Train, Gravy Train <br>

<br>

Well the golden goose is clattering-a-down the track, <br>

And they're gonna be ridin' in an old caboose <br>

Coming back <br>

<br>

There's the soldiers of fashion on the hit parade <br>

Ridin' on the Gravy Train <br>

Tongue lashing with the bitch brigade <br>

Ridin' on the Gravy Train <br>

Free loader licks my boots <br>

Tells me how he digs my suit <br>

You got lucky son, don't get cute <br>

Get on the Gravy Train<br>

<br>
