Sally Takes the Train

Описание: Notes:
This is a song that was waayyy down in my queue to record for this album, the 71st song I recorded in these sessions. I was playing it constantly on my acoustic guitar before I recorded it, and thinking about it often. I got the chord progression and rhythm first and then just started humming that melody, and Sally Takes the Train was the first line that came to me so I figured I should stick with that. I was really nervous that it would be bad when I was recording it but thankfully it seemed to work out great! It made the album, after all. The solo was originally supposed to be whistling but my old roommate who could whistle wasn't home at the time so I made it a guitar solo instead.

The 71st song recorded for the album, like it says above

Lyrics:
Sally takes the train back home and cries along the way
Strangers try to comfort her but she says she's okay
Through the night, and the day, pouring rain

Sally sees her friends from school and they are still the same
One works at his dad's law firm, the others play the game
They get beers, she gets laid, can't complain

I drive home but
Sally takes the train, endangered
I'm alone but
Sally takes the train with strangers
I go slow but
Sally takes the train, it's safer
Sally takes the train, I hate her

Sally gets in bed and goes to sleep but doesn't dream
Pressure fills her head and all she has to do is scream
But she just snores, 'cause tonight she's the queen

I drive home but
Sally takes the train, endangered
I'm alone but
Sally takes the train with strangers
I go slow but
Sally takes the train, it's safer
Sally takes the train, I hate her
