|
There is a train at Version City
|
Waiting for the rhythm mail
|
If you can jump then jump right now
|
She can pull you through to better days
|
|
Is that the train that the speak off
|
The one I heard in my younger days
|
All great bluesmen have rode her
|
I'm jumping up gonna ride that train
|
|
There's a lonely soul out on the crossroads
|
He's waiting there in the pouring rain
|
He's looking for that great ride yeh
|
That'll take him to oh what's her name
|
|
So I rode that train from Version City
|
For ninety-nine an' one half days
|
Never heard such rhythm sound
|
It was in my soul which was on the train
|
|
We went straight through Syndrum Inc.
|
Up an' over the Acapella Pass
|
Then Gibson Town and Fenderville
|
All stations to the Mesa Boogie Ranch
|
We saw that soul out on the cross roads
|
Waitin' there in the pouring rain
|
We called hey engine slow your rhythms
|
See he wants to ride the version train
|
|
We rode that train from Version City
|
For ninety-nine and one half years
|
I never seen such funky country
|
While riding with the engineers
|
|
Could not fill no application
|
Before I rode this rhythm train
|
Could not work at my station
|
Before I rode the version train
|
|
There is a train at Version City
|
Waiting for the rhythm mail
|
If you can jump then jump right now
|
She can pull you through to better days
|
