| [00:08.74] |
From old Montana down to Alabama |
| [00:10.61] |
I've been before and I'll travel again |
| [00:12.43] |
You triflin' women can't keep a good man down |
| [00:16.11] |
You dealt the cards but you missed the play |
| [00:18.38] |
So hit the road and be on your way |
| [00:20.32] |
Gonna board the golden rocket and leave this town. |
| [00:24.26] |
I was a good engine a runnin' on time |
| [00:26.82] |
But baby I'm switchin' to another line |
| [00:28.57] |
So honey never hang your signal out for me |
| [00:32.25] |
I'm tired of runnin' on the same old track |
| [00:34.82] |
Bought a one way ticket and I won't be back |
| [00:36.82] |
This golden rocket's gonna blow my blues away. |
| [00:57.07] |
Hear that lonesome whistle blow |
| [00:59.32] |
That's your cue and by now you know |
| [01:01.20] |
That I got another true love waitin' in Tennessee |
| [01:04.70] |
This midnight special is burnin' the rail |
| [01:07.07] |
So woman don't try to follow my tail |
| [01:09.07] |
This golden rocket's gonna blow my blues away. |
| [01:13.26] |
Hear her thunder on through the night |
| [01:15.14] |
This Golden Rocket is doin' me right |
| [01:16.76] |
And that sunny southland sure is a part of me |
| [01:20.64] |
Now from your call board earse my name |
| [01:22.88] |
Your fire went out you done lost your flames |
| [01:24.95] |
And this golden rocket is rollin' my blues away. |
| [01:45.07] |
That old conductor he seemed to know |
| [01:47.14] |
That you done me wrong I was feelin' low |
| [01:49.26] |
For he yelled aloud we're over that Dixon Line |
| [01:52.94] |
The brakeman started singin' a song |
| [01:54.57] |
Said you're worried now but it won't be long |
| [01:57.01] |
This golden rocket is leavin' your blues behind. |
| [02:17.39] |
Then the porter yelled with his southern drawl |
| [02:19.51] |
Let's rise and shine good mornin' y'all |
| [02:21.14] |
And I sprang to my feet to greed the new born day |
| [02:24.95] |
As I kissed my baby at the station door |
| [02:27.20] |
The whistle blew like it never before |
| [02:29.32] |
Of the golden rocket that rolled my blues away... |
