Golden Rocket

From old Montana down to Alabam

I've been before and I'll travel again

You trifling women can't 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 I'm switching to another line

So honey never hang your signal out for me

I'm tired of running 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

Well that's 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 don't try to follow my trail

This golden rocket's 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 we're over that dixon line

The brakeman started singing a song

Said you're worried now but it won't be long

This golden rocket is leaving your blues behind

Then the porter yelled with his southern drawl

Let's rise and shine good morning yall

And I sprang to my feet to greet the new born day

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
