Saskia & Serge - The Country Disco Train lyrics

rate me

Do you hear the whistle blowin'?

Catch the country-disco train

Yeah, yeah, go to Nashville

And take the CDT

Those great songs of Nashville

Are made for you and me

Some times it's hard to be a woman

Givin' all your love to just one man

And if you love him, oh, be proud of him

'Cause after all he's just a man

Stand by your man

And show the world you love him

Keep givin' all the love you can

Stand by your man

Dear John

Oh, how I hate to write

Dear John

I must let you know tonight

(That my love for you has gone) The fighting was all over

(There's no reason to go on) And the battles, they'd all been won

(And tonight I'll wed another, dear John) But then I opened up the letter

And it started "Dear John"

I beg your pardon

I never promised you a rose garden

Along with the sunshine

There's gotta be a little rain some time

When you take you gotta give

So live and let live

Or let go, ohohoho, I beg your pardon

I never promised you a rose garden

Saving nickels, saving dimes

Working 'till the sun don't shine

Looking forward to happier times

On Blue Bayou

I'm going back some day

Come what may to Blue Bayou

Where the folks are fine

And world is mine on Blue Bayou

Where those fishing boats

With their sails afloat if I could only see

That familiar sunrise

Through sleepy eyes, how happy I'd be

It was a teenage wedding

And the old folks wished them well

You could see that Pierre

Did truly love that mademoiselle

Now the young monsieur and madame

Have rung the chapel bell

"C'est la vie, say the old folks

It goes to show you never can tell

Come, take the country-disco train

Blowin' on again and again

Come on and hear the guitar play

Pick it up, playin' the best he can
