Cigarette burnin' low on the rock and roll

Man I wish the morning would come

2 thousand miles between me and my home

My red eyes start to succumb

Interstate signals - red white and blue

Long black ribbon of truth

Golden strings in the hair of my woman

Kickin' back the loss of my youth



Slow rain - black train

I can never stop - feedin' my head

High speed - wet dream

I can never sleep

No home - no bed



I can't remember my name

But I don't feel ashamed

On this long cold black train



Help me jesus hold up my head

Don't think I'm gonna make it this time

How many reasons to live by the code

When you're layin' it all on the line

The hit parade is calling me softly

Wonder when I'm gonna die

All the times I've seen this dark train

Too many mountains to climb



Slow rain - black train

I can never stop - feedin' my head

High speed - wet dream

I can never sleep

No home - no bed

Cheap trick - I'm sick

Just another song

4 lanes insane

Black pearl - soft curls

The sun is gonna shine

Someday my girl



I can't remember my name

But I don't feel ashamed

On this long cold black train
