Fast Train

You were rich as a Rockefeller, yes you had it made French champagne, sweet cocaine, cocktails in the shade Chewing through your dad's trust fund, now it a brand game But there ain't no fast train a-comin' that's gonna take away the pain You were junk when you were young long time ago She went her way and you went yours, that's the way it goes It's ok to lie awake thinking how things might have been But there ain't no fast train a-comin' gonna bring her back again Ain't no fast train a-comin' tearing up the track Smokin' 'round the mountain just a-bringin' her back Just ain't' gonna see that kingdom come Take one last number now in the dying evening light But there ain't no fast train a-comin' gonna make everything alright Now you're old and gray, on a crooked cane, and you're walking stiff and slow Spend your sunny days on a back porch thinking about a long ago You can almost smell the roses from your blushing bride's bouquet But there ain't no fast train comin' gonna bring back yesterday Ain't no fast train a'comin' tearing up the track Smokin' 'round the mountain just to bring it all back Just ain't' gonna see that kingdom come Yeah take one last number now in the dying evening light 'Cuz there ain't no fast train coming gonna make everything alright Yeah there ain't no fast train a-comin' gonna make everything alright --- Fast Train - Sonny Burgess and Colum Sands
