"Drug Train" rattles down the line on Social Distortion, the band's self-titled third album and its major-label debut, which Epic put out in March 1990. It's one of the songs where the punk band dug deeper into the rockabilly, blues and country they'd started messing with on Prison Bound, and Eric von Herzen's harmonica gives it a dusty roadhouse edge.
Mike Ness wrote it on his own and sings lead, with Dennis Danell beside him on guitar, John Maurer on bass and backing vocals and Christopher Reece on drums. Dave Jerden produced, recorded and mixed it. The result is punk with a boxcar swing, all piston rhythm and sneer.
