Mystery Train
There are days
When she's a whisper
Nights when she's a scream
A reason to wake up in the morning
To close your eyes and dream
She'll curse you like a sailor
She'll wound you with her eyes
She always makes it better
But she won't apologize
I know everything about her
But don't know her at all
Chorus:
She's a ride on a mystery train
To a place you've never been before
Better hold on tight to that mystery train
You're not in Kansas anymore
She's a ride mystery train
She cries because she's happy
She sings songs when she's mad
Like a stiff drink when you need it
She's good at being bad
And long before you knew her
You knew she was the one
Chorus
Solo
I know everything about her
But I don't know her at all

Ride The Train
Words and music by teddy gentry
Orange blossom special, the wabash cannonball, the chattanooga choochoo, this hobos seen em all.
Ive watched the sante fe lay her smoke against the sky and listen to old
Number three rollin through the night.
Chorus:
Ride the train. ride the train.
Anywhere Im going I ride trains.
Sleepin in a boxcar when it rains.
Ride the train, ride the train.
Southern pacific, the overland express and up ahead the coal cars of west
Virginias best.
And oklahomas frisco, the biggest one of all.
Ive listened to the silver steeds lonesome midnight call.
Chorus
Ride the train. trains.

Orphain Train
(Julie Miller)
Come all you broken hearted, come and lay your burden down
Come kings and queens, come royalty surrender up your crown
Come empty-handed come with nothing of your own to claim
Come naked, poor, come like a child to ride the orphan train
Chorus: Come ride, ride on the orphan train
Put your ear to the track, you can hear your name
Come ride, ride on the orphan train, it'll take you all the way home
The way is narrow, it is steep that brings you to the door
But love awaits there to embrace your heart forevermore
(Repeat Chorus)
Come you abandoned, you forsaken
Friendless and alone, come refugees left homesick for
Some place you've never known
Here princes, paupers, criminals and saints are all the same
No more or less than God's beloved child aboard this train
(Repeat Chorus twice)
It'll take you all the way home
It's gonna take you all the way home

Mystery Train
(herman parker/sam phillips)
Train arrive 16 coaches long
Train arrive 16 coaches long
Well that long black train
Took my baby back home
Train train rolling round the bend
Train train rolling round the bend
Well it took my baby
Away from me again
Went down to the station
To meet my baby at the gate
Ask the station master
If her train is running late
He said no if your wait
On that old 44
I hate to tell you son
But that train dont stop her anymore
Train train rolling round the bend
Train train rolling round the bend
Well it took my baby
Away from me again
Heard that whistle blowing
It was the middle of the night
When I got down to the station
The train was rolling out of site
Mystery train rolling round the bend
Mystery train rolling round the bend
Well it took my baby
Away from me again

Train Of Gold
I saw her there from across the street, she was dressed in black
And when she moved she moved to a beat, like a cadillac
She rode a train, train train train, a train of gold
She was a woman of suspicious ways, never saw daylight
And in her room she sat and passed the days
And shed creep out at night
She rode a train, train train train, a train of gold
Chorus: train of gold, train of gold
It took me so long to find out I was wrong
Now I wait for her in the night
Looked through a window saw a velvet sky, a shade of green
A violin was playing soft and sweet, like it was a dream
She rode a train, train train train, a train of gold
Train of gold, train of gold
It took me so long to find out I was wrong
Now I wait for her in the night
Train of gold, train of gold
I dont believe her, it just couldnt be her
I cant get it out of my mind

Last Train To London
It was 9-29,9-29 back street big city.
The sun was going down,there was music all around
It felt so right.
It was one of those nights,one of those nights when
You feel the world stop turnin,you were standing
There,there was music in the air.i should have been
Away,but I knew Id have to stay.
Chorus
Last train to london,just headin out,
Last train to london,just leavin town.
But I really want tonight to last forever
I really wanna be with you.
Let the music play on down the line tonight.
It was one of those nights,one of those nights when
You feel the fire is burnin,everybody was there,
Everybody to share,it felt so right.
There you were on your own,lookin like you were
The only one around,i had to be with you,
Nothin else that I could do,
I should have been away,but I knew Id have to say.

Underneath a starry sky,time was still but hours
Must really have rushed by,i didnt realize
But love was in your eyes I really should have
Gone,but love went on and on...

Sweet Mystery - Song Lyrics
Walked into a store
Started talkin' bout the Lord
The people told me to leave
Didn't want to hear it anymore
So I walked away dismayed
They thought they were being played
But little do they know
With Him they'll have it made!
Chorus:
Did you ever wonder
Why things happen as they do
The puzzle pieces don't fit
It's the old that makes things new
Cause He takes what is broken
Gets everything all fixed
Does it simply with love
He don't use any tricks
What a sweet mystery!
When I was back in school
I always acted like a fool
People thought that I was messed
But I thought that I was cool
When I got a little older
I started getting colder
Life started getting tough
I never used His shoulder
I tried to do it all myself
Threw my problems on the shelf
Hoped they would just go away
Wasn't good for my health
Chorus X 2
Did I plant one of your seeds?
Can You tell me when it grows?
Can You let me in on your plan?
Are You the only one that knows?
Do you want to keep me guessing?
Are you going to use him too?
Is this all a part of Your will?
Is this what you called me to do?
Chorus
What a sweet mystery!
What a sweet mystery!
Was blind but now I see
It's such a sweet mystery
What a sweet mystery!
What a sweet mystery!
Was blind but now I see
It's such a sweet mystery
It's such a sweet mystery
It's such a sweet mystery

Leavin Train
When I ask you if everything is alright
You whisper dont worry and you shut out the light
Now black is black in this bed were laying
And I wanna believe the words that youre saying
Chorus:
But your eyes look like a leavin train
They keep on dragging me down
Your eyes look like a leavin train
They keep on draggin
They keep on draggin
They keep on draggin me down
Well I did anything just to try to get close to you
I took it step by step like a mans supposed to
Tell me now, is this my
Is this my contrition
To have the love that I longed for fill me with suspicion
(chorus)
Now its tellin time, oh my little sister
Now can I believe the words, the words of love you whisper
Is my train in vain, has my soul gone to waste
Am I just a victim of, a victim of my lost faith

Next Train
Well I finally found tomorrow
'Cause I just now found today
But I'm left with all the sorrow
Lingering from yesterday
So I'm leaving this behind on the next train
To what place, well I don't know
When I leave I may not ride on the best train
But it's time for me to let go
Well I'd love for you to be there
On the day I say goodbye
But I've lost too much to your stare
To even waste a sigh
So I'm leaving this behind on the next train
To what place, well I don't know
When I leave I may not ride on the best train
But it's time for me to let go
Yes it's time for me to let go
You're the drug that's in my veins
You lift me up and leave me pain
I'm broken, beaten, barely sane
And I'm leaving on the next train
I gladly stayed to wade it through
And find out what I've meant to you
Now it's clear to me this time
So I'm leaving this behind
So I'm leaving this behind on the next train
To what place, well I don't know
When I leave I may not ride on the best train
But it's time for me to let go
So I'm leaving this behind on the next train
To what place, well I don't know
When I leave I may not ride on the best train
But it's time for me to let go
Yes it's time for me to let go

Mystery Dance
Romeo was restless, he was ready to kill.
He jumped out the window cause he couldn't sit still.
Juliet was waiting with a safety net.
He said "don't bury me cause i'm not dead yet".
Why don't you tell me 'bout the mystery dance.
I wanna know about the mystery dance.
Why don't you show me,
'cause i've tried and i've tried,
And i'm still mystified.
I can't do it anymore and i'm not satisfied.
I can't do it anymore and i'm not satisfied.
Well i remember when the lights went out
And i was tryin' to make it look like it was never in doubt.
She thought that i knew, and i thought that she knew,
So both of us were willing, but we didn't know how to do it.
Chorus
Well i was down under the covers in the middle of the night,
Tryin' to discover my left foot from my right.
You can see those pictures in any magazine.
But what's the use of looking when you don't know what they mean.
Chorus
I'm gonna walk right up to heaven dodgeing lightning rods
I'm gonna have this very personal conversation with god
I said "you got the information, why don't you say so?"
He'll say "well i've been around and i still don't know."

He Rode All The Way To Texas
A light shines from my window
I just cant sleep no more
Lord, it hurts so much to be alone
But the real men never do admit
That its them that might be wrong
At least thats what he told me in his song
Chorus:
He rode all the way to texas
On an old freight train
Didnt miss the girl he left behind
He rode all the way to texas
Didnt shed a tear
Hes lettin you know that hes the movin kind
The freedom that he sings about
I guess Ill never know
I just cant shake the guilt or kill the pain
But he lets me ride when the lights turns low
Get on board the radio and take a ride to texas on his train

She's A Mystery
She won't let me buy her jewellery
She don't want things that she can keep
She wears wild flowers in her hair
And throws them to the sea
She's the beginning and the end of me
Chorus:
She's a mystery
My most beautiful regret
I will never understand her
She's a mystery
The only promise I can keep
Even in my dreams she ruins me
I still don't know what to call her
She says that words don't mean a thing
she changes her name every day
And lies all the time
I feel lucky to call her mine
Chorus
She's anything in the world
That you cannot explain
But when she throws me a smile
It's fire in the rain
Chorus:
She's a mystery
My most beautiful regret
Cause she's a mystery
The only promise I can keep
Even in my dreams she ruins me
She's a mystery
There's no defence
It's innocence
But she won't let you see
Cause she's a mystery

Dont Cross The River
Theres a little girl
Out lying on her own
Shes got a broken heart
Shes not the kind
You take down for long
She knows and
Plays it smart
And if shes coming
Shes shown no more
Shes heard no whistle
Blowing from the door
She feels like leaving and
She dont know why
Without no bridges
Shes trapped
So I sigh
[chorus:]
Dont cross the river
If you cant swim the tide
Dont try denying
Living on the other side
All your life you were
On your own
If you want
You can ride my train
Soon forget the reason
That youre leaving
Lose yourself and
Then sometimes
Maybe even save yourself
Some grieving
[repeat chorus]

Dangerous
It's been a long time in the makin'
We always knew that we could reach this place
Sometimes it's hard to find a reason to run
We'll still be standin' at the end of the race
Nobody said it would be easy
Sometimes it's hard to keep your dreams alive
It's so close we can taste it, counting the nights
With my eyes wide open, for the power drive
We will rock, we won't stop, better get ready, cause ready or not
So hold on, to what we got, hold on
Chorus:
Burn down to the ground, we got a volatile situation
We're gonna rock tonight, we're gonna get it right
'Cause it couldn't be better
Burn down to the ground, we're gonna violate our probation
We're gonna rock tonight, we're gonna get it right
Cause it couldn't be better, it couldn't be better
It can't get much better than this
Oh no, it can't get much better
Oh no, it can't get much better than this
Why don't you meet me after midnight
We're gonna ride that electric high
It's now or never, and the time is right
Turn up the power, we'll split the sky tonight
We will rock, we won't stop
Better get ready, cause ready or not
So hold on, to what we got, hold on

Oh no, it can't get much better, oh no, it can't get much better

All Night Train
Transcribed by ed luskey
Last night sorta got so insane,
As I went ridin on the all night train.
Took it down the street and around the block,
Took it downtown baby where the big boys rock.
Roll on, roll on,
Take me where I can ease my pain.
Preacher say boy now where you been?
Getting lead in my pockets,
Putting money in sin.
When the mornin comes not a nickel to my name,
Threw it all away on the all night train.
Ride, let the passenger ride.
Ride, let the passenger ride.
I woke up late yesterday afternoon,
My eyeballs feeling like two balloons.
The doctor say things aint never gonna change,
Till you stop riding that all night train.
Ride, let the passenger ride.
Ride, let the passenger ride.
Took a little trip to keep from going insane,
Spent the rest of my life on the all night train.
All night train.
All night train.
All night train.

What Am I Doin Hangin Round?
Just a loud mouth yankee I went down to mexico.
I didnt have much time to spend, about a week or so.
There I lightly took advantage of a girl who loved me so.
But I found myself a-thinkin when the time had come to go...
Chorus:
What am I doin hangin round?
I should be on that train and gone.
I should be ridin on that train to san antone,
What am I doin hangin round?
She took me to the garden just for a little walk.
I didnt know much spanish and there was no time for talk.
Then she told me that she loved me not with words but with a kiss.
And like a fool I kept on thinkin of a train I could not miss...

Well its been a year or so, and I want to go back again.
And if I get the money, well Ill ride the same old train.
But I guess your chances come but once and boy I sure missed mine.

Any World
If I had my way
I would move to another lifetime
I'd quit my job
Ride the train through the misty nighttime
I'll be ready when my feet touch ground
Wherever I come down
And if the folks will have me
Then they'll have me
CHORUS:
Any world that I'm welcome to
Is better than the one I come from
I can hear your words
When you speak of what you are and have seen
I can see your hand
Reaching out through a shining daydream
Where the days and nights are not the same
Captured happy in a picture frame
Honey I will be there
Yes I'll be there
CHORUS
I got this thing inside me
That's got to find a place to hide me
I only know I must obey
This feeling I can't explain away
I think I'll go to the park
Watch the children playing
Perhaps I'll find in my head
What my heart is saying
A vision of a child returning
A kingdom where the sky is burning
Honey I will be there
Yes I'll be there
