The Golden Rocket

The Golden Rocket - Johnny Horton

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 a play

So hit the road and be on your way

You're gonna board the Golden Rocket and leave this town

Well hear that thunder on through the night

This Golden Rocket is doin' me right

And that sunny Southland sure is a part of me

From your call board erase my name

Your fire went out you done lost your flame

And this Golden Rocket's gonna roll my blues away

Yeah 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

I bought a one way ticket and I won't be back

This Golden Rocket's gonna blow my blues away

Yeah hear that thunder on through the night

This Golden Rocket is doin' me right

And that sunny Southland sure is a part of me

From your call board erase my name

Your fire went out you done lost your flame

And this Golden Rocket's gonna roll my blues away
