Take me back to Memphis where The King smoked dope And he drove his gold Caddy through the mirrors and smoke When life goes drivin' off ahead of you There's reds and whites and catchin' up to do On that Blue Railroad Train . . . Tell me Jimi Hendrix just before you died Was the rainbow in the tunnel really worth the ride I'm not to judge a man on what he can or should But I hope the hope the angels have some funk and that The sky kissed good Like that Blue Railroad Train . . . I'm gonna sing with Janis Joplin, watch her shake that thing And hear nothing in her pockets but freedom's ring But don't think for a second you had nothing to lose Cause it froze your heart and it stole your blues That Blue Railroad Train . . . Johnny Cash there's a hymn I've heard that sings That in the ashes of the fire hides the King of Kings Well you've crawled through the soot and you've searched alone And Fourteen Stations later you've rode back home On that Blue Railroad Train . . . I know the world's gone crazy and our souls are weak And that there's sacred and profane along the paths we seek As long as there are questions there'll be answers tried But you can't know the destination before you ride That Blue Railroad Train . . .
