You know a Hot Rails song when you hear it. James has an amazing ability to come down with a riff that everyone instantly will jump on and play the hell out of. This is one of those songs. The whole song was written in one night, it is a great closer and has definitely evolved and extended into some crazy antics during live shows.
lyrics
I've got your testimony
I've got the word
I've got the sweetest shit you've ever heard
Get on the train
Get on the hot rails
If you think you want it there's nothing I can do
but if you know you need it baby, I will get the package through
Get on the train
Get on the hot rails
I've got your testimony
I've got the word
I'm the conductor baby or ain't you heard
Get on the train
Get on the hot rails
But If you see me coming you're best to step aside
But you ain't in to running baby, come on hitch a ride
Get on the train
Get on the hot rails
Get on the train
Get on the hot rails
I've got your testimony, I've got the word
These rails are white hot baby, come on feel the burn
Get on the train
Get on the hot rails
When we hit the station and the engine's cooling down
This ride maybe over but I'm sure I'll see you around
Get on the train
Get on the hot rails
Get on the train
Get on the hot rails
I just want to see that caboose

The 'stoner blues' album for me. It really does it. I've heard better blues, I've heard better stoner rock. But in combining both of those, they've really set the stage on this album.
Rock on, Matt. Wait, who? modifier

I can't pick a favorite track.
I'm not even sure which style of music they play.
I think these are modern kicks for the solitary witch or something...
anyway, 10 out of 10!
