King Django - I Got A Ride lyrics

Ain't no reliving the past, I'm moving on to the future I ain't trying to go fast, just trying to break from the users With a rotating cast, on a twisted road Where my twisted life is threatening to explode And I got a ride I've got to ride 'Cause they're just two steps behind me with their ball and chain They got steel shackles to clap 'round my ankles So I gotta ride that midnight train I know that yesterday's gone, I'm lookin' on to tomorrow I'm gonna strive to be strong and steer away from the sorrow I pray the road may be long and lined with friendly smiles As I travel along the lonely miles And I got a ride I've got to ride 'Cause they're just two steps behind me with their ball and chain They got steel shackles to clap 'round my ankles So I gotta ride that midnight train
