Johnny Horton - Golden Rocket lyrics

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

Gonna board the Golden Rocket and leave this town

[ guitar ]

Well hear her 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 earse my name

Your fire went out you done lost your flames

And this Golden Rocket is 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

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

This Golden Rocket's gonna blow my blues away

[ guitar ]

Well hear her thunder...
