The Golden Rocket

(album: On The Road - 1970)

From old Montana down to Alabama
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 a play
So hit the road and be on your way
Gonna board the Golden Rocket and leave this town

Well, hear her thunder on through the night
This Golden Rocket is doing me right
And that sunny Southland sure is a part of me
From your call board earse my name
Your fire went out you done lost your flames
And this Golden Rocket is gonna roll my blues away

Yeah, 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 blow my blues away

Yeah, hear her thunder on through the night
This Golden Rocket is doing me right
And that sunny Southland sure is a part of me
From your call board earse my name
Your fire went out you done lost your flames
And this Golden Rocket is gonna roll my blues away
