Takes You On Home Lyrics - Singles - Cosmic Railroad

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 ass 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 death 

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, shit, 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
