Cosmic Railroad - Takes You On Home lyrics

rate me

I'm two days shy of Alabama

I caught a freight train to Carolina

I'll be in Tihuana if I only can

I'll climb my way 'cross that Mississippi land

I've gotta stay two steps ahead

You know I can't get caught draggin' behind

I'm running from the long arm of the law

Oh, Mama I'm runnin' out of time

Two for too late

Two for tough break

When the man

When the man

If you cheated

Your freedoms fleeted

When the man

When the man

When the man comes,

He comes and takes you on home

Layin' low keepin' on the lamb

With the man right on my trail

Tryin' to lay back and keep my ass outta sight

Time for leavin' I've gotta high tail

Last stop at two below, I had to bail

Times looked bad, so I had to sail

I'm half starvin', half freezin' to death

But at least it's better than spendin' a cold night in jail

Two for too late

Two for tough break

When the man

When the man

If you cheated

Your freedoms fleeted

When the man

When the man

When the man comes,

He comes and takes you on home

I'm back out in front, rollin' through Austin

Ah, shit, this wasn't part of my plan

I got some wheels to Galvestan

When I heisted those Chevy vans

So, here I am at the Alamo

Is this how Custard felt on his last stand?

The man's gonna get you, he's gonna find you

Once you're tired, he'll take you in the palm of his hand

Two for too late

Two for tough break

When the man

When the man

If you cheated

Your freedoms fleeted

When the man

When the man

When the man comes,

He comes and takes you on home

When the man comes,

He comes and takes you on home

When the man comes,

He comes and takes you on home<br />
