BLUE TRAIN
(D. Allen)

I heard that whistle when I heard you speak
Felt that rumble underneath my feet
Knew I'd bought myself a first-class seat
On the blue train
I knew you'd break me down and leave me flat
I saw it comin' but I turned my back
I feel like a nickel on the railroad track
Here comes the blue train

Blue train, blue train
Broken hearts ride free
On the blue train, blue train
Comin' for to carry me

(Long instrumental passage)

It's not the first time I've been down this line
I've done some travellin' with this heart of mine
Seems to be a longer ride each time
On the blue train
When I get home I'm gonna lock my heart
Try and turn away the wounded part
I'm gonna give myself a good head start
And outrun the blue train

Blue train, blue train
Broken hearts ride free
On the blue train, blue train
Comin' for to carry me

Blue train, blue train
Comin' for to carry me
On the blue train
