Lyrics
Spent a while in Memphis
Now my baby's started running around
I got no family here
Nobody cares about me anyway
So I headed off to who knows where
In search of a higher ground
I jumped a boxcar westbound
And I'm on my way
Roll long black thunder
I said roll long black thunder
I got a coat to keep me warm
Through the tailwind of her storm
Roll long black thunder
Now every night I dream of the train that's taking me where I'm going
New sights and adventures around every corner
There speeds that long black beauty and she holds my destination
Sparks flying from her wheels and her black smoke pouring
