Iron Rail Blues
A heavy, slow-burning psychedelic blues-rock track. It features a thick, fuzzy guitar riff that feels both weary and menacing, backed by a deep, dragging drum groove. The vocals are gritty and raw, building from a frustrated moan to a desperate, soaring wail.

Lyrics
Verse 1
I’m standin' where the weeds grow tall
Waitin' for the sky to fall
I got a hunger deep inside
With nowhere left for me to hide
I’m lookin' down that lonesome track
And I ain't never comin' back
Chorus
When that whistle starts to moan
I’ll leave this house of heavy stone
Gonna ride until the day is done
Underneath the burnin' sun
Yeah, I’m leavin' all my pain
Waitin' on that midnight train
Verse 2
They try to keep me on the floor
But I can’t take it anymore
The walls are closin' in so tight
I’m prayin' for the end of night
Just give me steam and give me steel
To change the way I truly feel
Chorus
When that whistle starts to moan
I’ll leave this house of heavy stone
Gonna ride until the day is done
Underneath the burnin' sun
Yeah, I’m leavin' all my pain
Waitin' on that midnight train
Verse 3
Don’t you look for me no more
I’m walkin' through a different door
No more chains to hold me down
Far away from this old ground
The smoke is risin' in the air
I’m leavin' every single care
Chorus
When that whistle starts to moan
I’ll leave this house of heavy stone
Gonna ride until the day is done
Underneath the burnin' sun
Yeah, I’m leavin' all my pain
Waitin' on that midnight train
