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 facesRiding this run down trackAnd the lost placesFrom a dream that never brings them backAnd the sad truth isNothing but a cold hard factI'm riding the blue trainOver the miles yet to coverA ghost in a hurry to fadeI'm taking it one way to nowhereAfraid you might be thereTo find me inside this blue trainCounting the burned bridgesTrailing this rusted wreckAs our back pagesScatter in the dust we leftLike a pearl necklaceFalling from around my neckI'm riding the blue trainOver the miles yet to coverA ghost in a hurry to fadeI'm taking it one way to nowhereAfraid you might be thereTo find me inside this blue trainAway down the low roadA ticket to an empty roomA rendezvous unknownI'm riding the blue trainOver the miles yet to coverA ghost in a hurry to fadeAnd I'm taking it one way to nowhereAfraid you might be thereTo find me inside this blue trainI'm riding the blue trainOver the miles yet to coverA ghost in a hurry to fadeI'm taking it one way to nowhereAfraid you might be thereTo find me inside this blue train------------------------------------------------------------------Keyboards: Robbie BuchananAcoustic Guitar: Mark CasstevensElectric Guitar: Dean ParksPedal Steel Guitar: Ben KeithBass Guitar: Leland SklarDrums & Percussion: Jim KeltnerBackground Vocals: Emmylou Harris, Linda RonstadtArranged by Linda Ronstadt
