Blue Train
(Johnny Cash)

(Smith)
1988 PolyGram Records Inc.

There's an engine at the station and the whistle calls my name
It's calling, calling, calling "come and get aboard the train"
My baby's gone and I'm alone to live in misery
I'm gonna call and make a reservation for me

Gonna ride the blue train, gonna ride the blue train
Gonna ride the blue train, gonna ride the blue train

I'm gonna climb aboard and ride until I learn to smile
I'll be knocking out the blues while I'm knocking out the miles
With my guitar beating rhythm to the click-clack of the wheels
I'm gonna sing the blues 'cause that's the way that I feel

Gonna ride the blue train, gonna ride the blue train
Gonna ride the blue train, gonna ride the blue train

Conductor come and tell the man to shovel on the coal
It doesn't seem half as bad as long as I can roll
Give me another ticket, and I'll stay and ride with you
There's nothing left to live for in this world we're rolling through

Gonna ride the blue train, gonna ride the blue train
Gonna ride the blue train, gonna ride the blue train
