Drive these blues away Songtext

von Dave Sharp

Now the wind blows cold
Bells ring out
Way across
Town tonight
It's gettin' too dark to see
Steel glass rain
Starin' at the
Bright headlights
It's dark as a dungeoned house
Ooh and for heavens' sakes
Heart is as black as coal
It don't have to be this way

Waitin' on that sunnyland train
You're gonna make it any day
Get onboard that sunnyland train
Drive these blues away
Well it don't have to be this way

Down in the alley by the liquor store
Gotta get some joy
Nobody knows folks like these
They're gonna do what they can tonight
Oh Lord
To get a little sweet
Sweet relief
My last dollar is gone and spent
These ain't christian days
Livin' off fat back meat
It don't have to be this way

Waitin' on that sunnyland train
You're gonna make it any day
Get onboard that sunnyland train
Drive these blues away
Well it don't have to be this way

Well now the train pulls in
Every quarter hour
Believe it friend
Don't matter who you are
It's one for the ticket
Two for the tracks
Three to get ready
Don't be looking
Looking back

Waitin' on that sunnyland train
You're gonna make it any day
Get onboard that sunnyland train
Drive these blues away
Well it don't have to be this way

Well it don't have to be this way

Well it don't have to be this way
