Black Train

Cigarette burnin' low on the rock and roll
Man I wish the morning would come
2 thousand miles between me and my home
My red eyes start to succumb
Interstate signals - red white and blue
Long black ribbon of truth
Golden strings in the hair of my woman
Kickin' back the loss of my youth

Slow rain - black train
I can never stop - feedin' my head
High speed - wet dream
I can never sleep
No home - no bed

I can't remember my name
But I don't feel ashamed
On this long cold black train

Help me jesus hold up my head
Don't think I'm gonna make it this time
How many reasons to live by the code
When you're layin' it all on the line
The hit parade is calling me softly
Wonder when I'm gonna die
All the times I've seen this dark train
Too many mountains to climb

Slow rain - black train
I can never stop - feedin' my head
High speed - wet dream
I can never sleep
No home - no bed
Cheap trick - I'm sick
Just another song
4 lanes insane
Black pearl - soft curls
The sun is gonna shine
Someday my girl

I can't remember my name
But I don't feel ashamed
On this long cold black train
