Linda Ronstadt - The Blue Train lyrics

written by Jennifer Kimball, Tom Kimmel © 1988 Colgems-EMI Music/ Sweet Angel Music/ Morisette Music/ Criterion Music (ASCAP) Watching the long faces Riding this run down track And the lost places From a dream that never brings them back And the sad truth is Nothing but a cold hard fact I'm riding the blue train Over the miles yet to cover A ghost in a hurry to fade I'm taking it one way to nowhere Afraid you might be there To find me inside this blue train Counting the burned bridges Trailing this rusted wreck As our back pages Scatter in the dust we left Like a pearl necklace Falling from around my neck I'm riding the blue train Over the miles yet to cover A ghost in a hurry to fade I'm taking it one way to nowhere Afraid you might be there To find me inside this blue train Away down the low road A ticket to an empty room A rendezvous unknown I'm riding the blue train Over the miles yet to cover A ghost in a hurry to fade And I'm taking it one way to nowhere Afraid you might be there To find me inside this blue train I'm riding the blue train Over the miles yet to cover A ghost in a hurry to fade I'm taking it one way to nowhere Afraid you might be there To find me inside this blue train ------------------------------------------------------------------ Keyboards: Robbie Buchanan Acoustic Guitar: Mark Ca**tevens Electric Guitar: Dean Parks Pedal Steel Guitar: Ben Keith Ba** Guitar: Leland Sklar Drums & Percussion: Jim Keltner Background Vocals: Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt Arranged by Linda Ronstadt
