('Board!)
Verse 1
From old Montana down to Alabam', I've been before and I'll travel again
You triflin' women can't keep a good man down
You dealt the cards but you missed the play, so hit the road and be on your way
Gonna board the Golden Rocket and leave this town
Verse 2
I was a good engine a-runnin' on time, but baby I'm switchin' to another line
So honey never hang your signal out for me
I'm tired of runnin' on the same old track, bought a one-way ticket and I won't be back
This Golden Rocket's gonna roll my blues away

Verse 3
Hear that lonesome whistle blow, well that's your cue and by now you know
That I got another true lover waitin' in Tennessee
That Midnight Special's a-burnin' the rail, so woman don't try to follow my trail
This Golden Rocket's gonna roll my blues away
Verse 4
Hear her thunder on through the night, that Golden Rocket is doin' me right
And that sunny old Southland sure is a part of me
Now from your call-board erase my name, your fire went out, you done lost your flame
And this Golden Rocket is a-rollin' my blues away
Break

Verse 5
That old conductor he seemed to know, you'd done me wrong, I was feelin' low
For he yelled aloud: "We're over that Dixon Line"
The brakeman started singing a song, said: "You're worried now but it won't be long
This Golden Rocket is a-leavin' your blues behind"
Break

Verse 6
Then the porter yelled with his southern drawl: "Let's "rise and shine, good mornin', you-all"
And I sprang to my feet to greet the new-born day
When I kissed my baby at the station door, that whistle blew like it never before
Of the Golden Rocket that rolled my blues away
