Ellis Paul - Black Top Train Lyrics
(chorus)ooo-ooo On a blacktop train, they're rolling like the thunder in a midwest rainooo-ooo On a blacktop train, every revolution rides the wheels of changeThey poured blacktop two-lane right through the cornfieldsLaid a stripe right across my backThe wheels came spinning with the wide-eyed crusaders,out on a quest for the trail of Jack KerouacSilos, scarecrows, American machine,rev up your engines you're as fast as a trainOh my Lord, look how the weather has changedcyclones, dust storms, blacktop trainscyclones, dust storms, blacktop trains(chorus)They're gonna write a new song they blow on byStart a revolution and blow on byIt ain't ever gonna be the sameThey come east coast, west coast, Chryslers and Oldsmobilessmoke rolling, chrome on the plainsMusicians pull over looking over their shouldersat Hank Williams, Buddy Holly lighting the flameMotels, oilwells, truckstop, marinesgoing to California with their pin-up dreamsRoll down your window, brother, shout out my nameYou're on route 66, on a blacktop trainroute 66, on a blacktop train(chorus)
