It's trouble on the left and trouble on the right
|
I've run from trouble nearly all my life
|
It's true, yes it's true
|
I met a dark-haired lady with a crystal ball
|
She said the law's gonna get ya, and stick ya behind stone walls
|
Then she took my money and run away
|
Well I was like a long, train, gone
|
Gone, a long time ago
|
Long, train, gone
|
Gone like you've never seen before
|
|
I saw the fireballs flashin' through the joker's eyes
|
But when she reached for my heart, I cut her right down to stone
|
I left her standin' alone
|
I stayed low to the east in the west bound rain
|
I thought I missed the flood before it fell down again at dawn
|
I thought it best to move on again
|
|
And I was like a long, train, gone
|
Gone, a long time ago
|
Long, train, gone
|
Gone like you've never seen before
|
|
When the walls come tumblin' down,
|
And the rain continues to fall
|
And you feel yourself shakin' when the light's gone out in the hall
|
And you're all alone
|
|
Son, be like a long, train, gone
|
Gone, a long time ago
|
Long, train, gone
|
Gone like you've never seen before
|
Gone like you've never seen before
|
