Alabama 3 Album

[No lyrics]

Oh Lord I dream, of a train
the glory bound train
get on board
the last train to Mashville

it's been awhile
I missed your honky-tonk style
let the bourbon flow
time moves so slowly in suburbia
maybe it's time to go
i got me some medicine, you got your red dress on
steal your mamma's transistor radio
we'll find a frequency
we'll find a frequency's a'listen to

all the country girls go:
"oooh, oooh-o"
"oooh, oooh-o"
"oooh, oooh-o"
"oooh, oooh-o"

ridin on the train to Mashville
ridin on the train to Mashville
ridin on the train to Mashville
ridin on the train

ridin on the train to Mashville
ridin on the train to Mashville
ridin on the train to Mashville
ridin on the train

oh yeah I dream of a train of the glory bound train

you lost the plot again
where I, i don't know
prepared to cut my losses
if you let your blues go
can you hear that whistle blowin'?
don't you wanna go down slow?
last train to Mashville

all the country girls go
"oooh, oooh-o"
"oooh, oooh-o"

all the country girls goin'
"oooh, oooh-o"
"oooh, oooh-o"

all the country girls goin'
"oooh, oooh-o"
"oooh, oooh-o"

and there's a train that pulls out the station slow
you find yourself leavin the platform with nowhere to go
you can hear it chuggin in the distance
you walk back to your place with no resistance
one thing's for sure, you missed the last train to Mashville

Oh Lord I dream, of a train
the glory bound train
get on board
the last train to Mashville

Oh Lord I dream, of a train
the glory bound train
get on board
the last train to Mashville

riding on the train to Mashville
riding on the train to Mashville
riding on the train to Mashville
ridin' on the train

riding on the train to Mashville
riding on the train to Mashville
riding on the train to Mashville
ridin' on the train

what will it be like when me and larry and you get together
uncooth, undressed, unclean, you know what i mean
what is mine? what is yours?
nothin is mine, nothin is yourse
but one thing's for sure,
you just missed the last train to Mashville, brotha

the world don't seem to fit me
I'm always starin'at the stars
a better life for me in some other galaxy
I wanna get off this world of ours

I got a telescope on the roof
I'm always searchin' the stratosphere
'cause breathin', breathin' it ain't easy
in this loveless atmosphere

you, you could be anywhere
somewhere, so far from here
wherever you are, like a fallin' star
come back to planet earth, burn out with me

there's a light, in my window
that never goes out
there's a candle, I lit for ya
in case you roll back into town

'cause you, you could be anywhere
somewhere, so far from here
wherever you are, like a fallin' star
come back to planet earth, burn out with me

D. Wayne..

burn baby burn won't you burn out with me?
we'll climb up on hankery hill
and I'll burn you to a crisp
'till there's nothin but a whisp
or a lock of your hair for to tell for to tell
lock of your hair for to tell
lock of your hair for to tell

you, you could be anywhere
somewhere, so far from here
wherever you are, like a fallin' star
come back to planet earth, burn out with me

you, you could be anywhere
somewhere, so far from here
wherever you are, like a fallin' star
come back to planet earth, burn out with me
come back to planet earth, burn out with me

abandoned mamma when I was four

his 45 records he kept under the floorboards

I'll walk through the door and say

hello... hello I'm Johnny Cash

my woman wears a long black veil cause I always like to walk the line
I'm gonna to take her out tonight I'm goin' to Jackson

I won't take my guns to town tonite
if you dont call me a boy named sue

hello... hello I'm Johnny Cash
I said, hello... hello I'm Johnny Cash

rollin' down the train tracks
oh no, I ain't comin back
the man in me is the man in black

rock'n roll, save my soul
rock'n roll, save my soul

you came down hard on all the non-believers
sat in silence when the sinners rang the bells
you came down hard on every peasant who was pleadin for a little bit of heaven in his hand
you got the keys, you got the combinations, got your padlocks on my property
you got your hands on my congregation but you ain't got your hook in me

'cause up above my head
I hear music in the air
and this road I'm on
could lead me anywhere

you took the call from the counter culture
could you build a barricade tonite
well you stole all of your mother's tranquilizers
now you're bridge is burnin so bright
you got the facts you got the information
got your motor on conspiracy
you left a virus in my daughter's playstation
but you ain't got your hook in me

'cause up above my head
I hear music in the air
and this road I'm on
could lead me anywhere

pardon me, save my soul
just you be ready to roll
and I really do believe...

rock'n roll let it go, yeah

'cause up above my head
I hear music in the air
and this road I'm on
could lead me anywhere

it might be rough and rocky
but I don't really care
I really do believe
I'll find heaven somewhere (x5)

rock'n roll save my soul

trippin flippin this is how we stick it to ya
it's all good in th'hood
this is our life
mc shermos, alabama three oooh

I'm so sick and tired of feelin' sick and tired
I've been wired every night of this week
my troubled mind just cant find no comfort in sleep
I'm on th'wrong side of town I cant come down
I got holes in my dancin shoes
look like a dog house flower
in the midnight hour
in the corner of some bar room

give me one more minute of danger
some bad medicine
I'll waste it on an hour in hell tonite
to get to heaven on adrenaline
feel the rush

so down at here
streetlight feels like some narcotic (that's right)
I stumble alone
lookin' for home
an' no door key in my pocket
so I double back
i retrace my tracks to the place where all of this started
my getaway car was stole an you laugh
cause I forgot to lock it

give me one more minute of danger
some bad medicine
ill waste it on an hour in hell tonite
to get to heaven on adrenaline
feel the rush

I'm gonna take it any way that I can make it
run off adrenaline
in my life I had to fake it
needin' the medicine for everythin'
dozens of hopes where you dont try to explain all it
too many brothers skimmin'
I gets the feelin that my deals ain't no way to run
somebody slip me by the loo having too much fun
now I'm probably flippin', spendin', chillin', killin' too much time
leave me the number one before I lose my mind
can't be fine
havin a time of it
duck in a dive
keep it alive
rock in and ride with it
the devil's hit me tryin to win
but can he keep the pace?
I've done it all before
an never lost my faith
throw me a sign if you find one my sins
raise your hands if you down an all in
blaze one up somebody pass me the skins
we're all on the guest list to heaven

I'm gonna fly, yeah
I'm gonna fly so high

I'm gonna fly, yeah
I'm gonna fly so high

and Im gonna fly so high
feel the rush
I'm gonna fly

feel de rush

I'm gonna fly so high

feel de rush

I'm gonna fly

feel de rush

(verse 1)

Have you seen bruce richard reynolds?
he's a man we'd like to find
they say the great train robbery
he was the mastermind
and his firm they pulled the greatest turn
the world has ever known
2 million quid was stolen
the firm swid for parts unknown

(chorus)

have you seen bruce richard reynolds?
he's a man we must detain
he's wanted for the robbery of the glasgow/Euston train
age 32, height six foot one, eyes gray, his hair is brown
apprehend bruce richard reynolds he is wanted by the crown

(verse 2)

Well reynolds and some people got together as a firm
while doin' bird and wearin scrubs he heard about a turn
Rob a train but it needed brains so reynolds scratched his head
"when i done my bird then rob that train" thats what he said
well reynolds left his prison cell he started on his scheme
he contacted ole' Gordon 'G' and charlie wilson's team
they came to an agreement
and a partnership was made
by summer 63' the scene was set for reynold's raid
yea'

(verse3)

the night of august 8th y'know the rig went like a dream
on-hundred an' twenty meal-bags full of money was stolen by the team
but someone left his finger prints and the guys were soon on charge
but they only caught the muscle cause' the brains were still at large

(verse4)

a good one came to news
and mister reynolds made a vow
"well no-one grassed on me" he said
"i cant desert em' now"
"the iron bars and prison walls
they do not bother me"
"i robbed the mails, so ill rob the jails and set my whole firm free"

(verse 5)

by august 64 ol' charlie wilson left his cell
by late in 65 brought big ol' annie olse as well

(verse6)

have you seen bruce richard reynolds
He's a mastermind you know
just walking through the walls of jails and lettin' his firm go

Well baby i'm gettin' stir crazy,
I'm goin' down the avenue,
Meet my connection on the corner,
Between 1:30 a.m. and 2,

I got me a pretty money,
Been hustling so hard all week,
Don't you say "no" baby,
Let it blow,
Rock up and roll with the freaks!

(chorus)
Is there honey in the rock?
Has love gone out to smoke?
Could you be more ever lovin' baby?

I don't know if i'm ready
to follow you dowwwwn
heaven's on the 21st floor

oh i might be in heaven
but i see stormy weather
cause a hard rain, a hard rain's gonna fall!

chorus

You and me
and the devil
make three
my sweet ménage à trois

Baby!
Remember when we loved each other only
with nobody to control our precious moments
the situation's blowing my mind!

oh yeahhhh

chorus

I never play with guns

she got a compact mirror
stole it off her mother
she got her daddy's overnight traveling bag
always been told "if you wanna leave home honey, you ain't ever, ever welcome back"
and now she's down at the station, baby in her belly
kickin' gentle momma chilled to the max
she got a one way ticket, goin'cross the border
for her hopes and all her dreams
rollin down the train tracks, yeah

how can I protect you in this crazy world?
it's alright
yeah
it's alright

from two to nine you work for five-a-dime
start the night with some thunderbird wine
praise the lord for those neon lights that'a
keep the city burnin' bright all night
walkin' in the park in the midnight rain
swear to yourself that ya gonna change
ain't gonna crash, ain't gonna burn, ain't gonna take no wrong turn
feel so alone, so you telephone, ya
call collect ain't nobody home
you ain't suprised though you wonder why your letters come back unopened
so you hit the strip with your freak flag high an'
forget about the tears in your daddy's eyes
momma don't worry if the waters rise
don't ever let my drink run dry till the sunshine

how can I protect you in this crazy world?
it's alright
yeah
it's alright

and when the talkin's over
there's nothing left I can do
how'm I ever gonna get through to you?

let the angels be the navigators
the devil will get there on his own
let the cherubin
let the serafin
keep you walkin on the road back home, yeah

how can I protect you?
