Cosmic Railroad - Takes You On Home lyrics

I'm two days shy of Alabama I caught a freight train to Carolina I'll be in Tihuana if I only can I'll climb my way 'cross that Mississippi land I've gotta stay two steps ahead You know I can't get caught draggin' behind I'm running from the long arm of the law Oh, Mama I'm runnin' out of time Two for too late Two for tough break When the man When the man If you cheated Your freedoms fleeted When the man When the man When the man comes, He comes and takes you on home Layin' low keepin' on the lamb With the man right on my trail Tryin' to lay back and keep my a** outta sight Time for leavin' I've gotta high tail Last stop at two below, I had to bail Times looked bad, so I had to sail I'm half starvin', half freezin' to d**h But at least it's better than spendin' a cold night in jail Two for too late Two for tough break When the man When the man If you cheated Your freedoms fleeted When the man When the man When the man comes, He comes and takes you on home I'm back out in front, rollin' through Austin Ah, sh**, this wasn't part of my plan I got some wheels to Galvestan When I heisted those Chevy vans So, here I am at the Alamo Is this how Custard felt on his last stand? The man's gonna get you, he's gonna find you Once you're tired, he'll take you in the palm of his hand Two for too late Two for tough break When the man When the man If you cheated Your freedoms fleeted When the man When the man When the man comes, He comes and takes you on home When the man comes, He comes and takes you on home When the man comes, He comes and takes you on home
