Black Train

Ridin' on the black train
And I can't get better, I can't get better
I'm heat on the black train

Although I know I've been there before
I'm slippin' out to any place
Ridin' on the black train
Ridin' on the black train
I'm ridin' on the black train
Every blood in my body goes with the train

And I'm lightin' up the night
Ridin' on the black train

Ridin' on the black train

I still can't be satisfied
Ridin' on the black train
I'm movin' on the black train
I left the Will-O-the-Wisp to roam
And some of it's on the floor

With everything I've had and everything I've done
And I breathe a soundless sound
Torn up on the black train
I left a nigger lying dead by the river
Ridin' on the black train

Ridin' on the black train

Torn from my southern home
