Long Train Gone Lyrics - Stuart Marty

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 of the west bound rain 

I barely 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, alright 

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
