Rory Gallagher - Race The Breeze lyrics

rate me

Well that sounds like the night train, blowin' it's stack<br />

Spreading it's wings on homeward track<br />

Arrived here this morning, won't be here for long<br />

As fast as a shooting star, that's' what them eight wheels are for<br />

<br />

Come on baby lets jump aboard<br />

It's a mean piece of transport baby<br />

You know that's no joke<br />

<br />

On board the aging gamble smiles as he peels<br />

The seal off a new deck, then he quietly deals<br />

Hands round the table from the bottom he slips three<br />

Watch yourself if you play this game the fastest card game on wheels<br />

Come on, won't you be there when it leaves<br />

Can't you hear them talkin' about it together we could race the breeze<br />

<br />

It shines out a light, in the darkest night<br />

To make us feel alright<br />

To make us feel alright<br />

I've prayed every night<br />

That you will wanna go there too<br />

Come on darlin', let's go<br />

<br />

Night is over as the dawn begins to crack<br />

Sounds like a hen hatching in a chicken shack<br />

Late last night I think I heard a lonely cry<br />

Heard the blind owl howling in a moonless sky<br />

Come on<br />

<br />

Won't you be there when it leaves<br />

Can't ya hear me talkin'<br />

Together we could race the breeze<br />

<br />

Old engine driver never stepped on the ground<br />

Got no degree in geography but he's been around<br />

Knows all the back lines, eyes can hardly see<br />

Don't tell this man to slow down<br />

'Cause he don't know what you mean<br />

Come on<br />

<br />

Won't you be there when it leaves<br />

Can't you hear me talkin baby<br />

Together we can race the breeze<br />

<br />

It shines out a light, in the darkest night<br />

To make us feel alright<br />

To make us feel alright<br />

I've prayed every night<br />

That you will wanna go there too<br />

Alright<br />

<br />

Well that sounds like the night train, blowin' it's stack<br />

Spreading it's wheels on homeward track<br />

Arrived here this morning, won't be here for long<br />

As fast as a shooting star, that's' what them eight wheels are for<br />

<br />

Won't you be there when it leaves<br />

Can't you hear me talkin' baby<br />

Together we can race the breeze<br />

<br />

Can't you hear me talkin' baby<br />

Together we can race the breeze<br />

<br />

Can't you hear me talkin' baby<br />

Together we can race the breeze
