Tren De Largo Recorrido
(Words & music by Chuck Berry)
I left my home in Norfolk Virginia
California on my mind
I straddled that Greyhound
And rode into Raleigh
And on across Caroline
We had motor trouble that turn into a struggle
Halfway across Alabam'
And that hound broke down and left us all stranded
In downtown Birmingham
Right away I brought me a through train ticket
Ridin' across Mississippi clean
And I was on that midnight flyer out of Birmingham
Smoking into New Orleans
Somebody help me get out of Louisiana
Just to help me g
Twilight
I'm bleeding in ways of the tire burned
I'm crying in ways of the nightbird
No more is there one to lay by my side
I'm straying in nightmares all the time
A little something I know
A little somewhere I go reminds me of you
To blossom blue is to blossom without you
I'm breaking but I cannot bear to
I'm staring but I cannot see you
For no more are you to lay by my side
I'm weeping no more then this second time
A little something I know
A little somewhere I go
Where the sweet waters flow reminds me of you
A little something I know
A little somewhere I go
Where the sweet waters flow
Where the mistletoes grow reminds me of you
To blossom blue is to blossom without you
