Blue Railroad Train

Take me back to Memphis where The King smoked dope
 And he drove his gold Caddy through the mirrors and smoke
 When life goes drivin' off ahead of you
 There's reds and whites and catchin' up to do
 On that Blue Railroad Train . . .
 Tell me Jimi Hendrix just before you died
 Was the rainbow in the tunnel really worth the ride
 I'm not to judge a man on what he can or should
 But I hope the hope the angels have some funk and that
 the sky kissed good
 Like that Blue Railroad Train . . .
 I'm gonna sing with Janis Joplin, watch her shake that thing
 And hear nothing in her pockets but freedom's ring
 But don't think for a second you had nothing to lose
 Cause it froze your heart and it stole your blues
 That Blue Railroad Train . . .
 Johnny Cash there's a hymn I've heard that sings
 That in the ashes of the fire hides the King of Kings
 Well you've crawled through the soot and you've searched alone
 And Fourteen Stations later you've rode back home
 On that Blue Railroad Train . . .
 I know the world's gone crazy and our souls are weak
 And that there's sacred and profane along the paths we seek
 As long as there are questions there'll be answers tried
 But you can't know the destination before you ride
 That Blue Railroad Train . . .
