The Blue Train (with Dolly Parton & Emmy Lou Harris)

Watchin' the long faces ridin' this run down track
And the lost places from a dream that never brings them back
And the sad truth is nothing but a cold hard fact.

I'm ridin' the blue train over the miles yet to cover
A ghost in a hurry to fade
I'm takin' it one way to nowhere
Afraid you might be there to find me inside this blue train

Counting the burning bridges trailing this rusted wreck
As our back pages scatter in the dust we left
Like a pearl necklace fallin' from around my neck

I'm riding the blue train over the miles yet to cover
A ghost in a hurry to fade
I'm takin' it one way to nowhere afraid you might be there
To find me inside this blue train

Away, down the low road a ticket to a rendezvous unknown

I'm ridin' the blue train over the miles yet to cover
A ghost in a hurry to fade

And I'm takin' it one way to nowhere afraid you might be there to find me inside this blue train.

I'm ridin' the blue train over the miles yet to cover
A ghost in a hurry to fade

And I'm takin' it one way to nowhere afraid you might be there to find me inside this blue train.
