Marty Stuart - Long Train Gone lyrics

Written by Marty Stuart It's trouble on the left and trouble on the right I've run from trouble nearly all my life It's true, yes it's true I met a dark-haired lady with a crystal ball She said the law's gonna get ya, and stick ya behind stone walls Then she took my money and run away Well I was like a long, train, gone Gone, a long time ago Long, train, gone Gone like you've never seen before I saw the fireballs flashin' through the joker's eyes But when she reached for my heart, I cut her right down to stone I left her standin' alone I stayed low to the east in the west bound rain I thought I missed the flood before it fell down again at dawn I thought it best to move on again And I was like a long, train, gone Gone, a long time ago Long, train, gone Gone like you've never seen before When the walls come tumblin' down, And the rain continues to fall And you feel yourself shakin' when the light's gone out in the hall And you're all alone Son, be like a long, train, gone Gone, a long time ago Long, train, gone Gone like you've never seen before Gone like you've never seen before
