Golden Rocket
From old Montana down to Alabam
Ive been before and Ill travel again
You trifling women cant keep a good man down
You dealt the cards but you missed the play
Now hit the road and be on your way
And gonna board the golden rocket and leave this town
I was a good engine a running on time
But baby Im switching to another line
So honey never hang your signal out for me
Im tired of running on the same old track
Bought a one way ticket and I wont be back
This golden rockets gonna roll my blues away
Hear that lonesome whistle blow
Well thats your cue and by now you know
That I got another true love waiting in tennessee
This midnight special is burning the rail
So woman dont try to follow my trail
This golden rockets gonna roll my blues away
Hear her thunder on through the night
That golden rocket is a doing me right
And that sunny old southland sure is a part of me
Now from your call board erase my name
Your fire went out you done lost your flames
And this golden rocket is a rolling my blues away
That old conductor he seemed to know
You done me wrong I was feeling low
For he yelled aloud were over that dixon line
The brakeman started singing a song
Said youre worried now but it wont be long
This golden rocket is leaving your blues behind
Then the porter yelled with his southern drawl
Lets rise and shine good morning yall
And I sprang to my feet to greet the new bornday
When I kissed my baby in the station door
That whistle blew like it never before
Of the golden rocket that rolled my blues away
Of the golden rocket that rolled my blues away
