The Golden Rocket

In the style of

Hank Snow

Lyrics

'board

from old montana
down to alabam'
i've been before and
i'll travel again

you drivin' women
can't keep
a good man down

you dealt the cards
but you missed a play
so hit the road and
be on your way
gonna board
the golden rocket
and leave this town

i was a good engine
a-runnin' on time
but baby i'm switchin'
to another line
so honey never
hang your signal out
for me

i'm tired of runnin' on
the same old track
bought a one-way
ticket and
i won't be back
this golden rocket's
gonna roll my blues
away

hear that lonesome
whistle blow
that's your cue and
by now you know

that i got another
true love a-waitin'
in tennessee

this midnight
special's a-burnin'
the rails
so woman don't try
to follow my trail
this golden rocket's
gonna roll my blues
away

hear her thunder
run through the night
this golden rocket
is a-doin' me right
and that sunny old
southland sure is
a part of me

now from your car
i'm gonna erase
my name
your fire went out
ya done lost
your flame

and this
golden rocket
is a-rollin' my blues
away

that old conductor
he seemed to know
you done me wrong
i was feelin' low

for he yelled aloud
we're over that
dixon line

the brakeman
started singin'
a song
said you're worried
now but
it won't be long

this golden rocket
is leavin' your blues
behind

then the porter
yelled with his
southern drawl
let's rise and shine
good mornin' y'all

then i sprang to
my feet to greet
the newborn day

when i kissed
my baby
in the station door
that whistle blew
like it never did 'fore

on the
golden rocket
that rolled my blues
away
