Solomon Burke - Fast Train lyrics

rate me

Well, you've been on a fast train and it's going off the rails

And you can't come back, can't come back together again

And you start breaking down in the pouring rain

Well, you've been on a fast train

When your lover has gone away, don't it make you feel so sad

And you go on a journey way into the land

And you start breaking down 'cause you're under the strain

And you jump on a fast train

You had to go on the lam, you stepped into no-man's land

Ain't nobody here on your waveband

Ain't nobody gonna give you a helping hand

And you start breaking down and just go into the sound

When you hear that fast train

And you keep moving on to the sound of the wheels

And deep inside your heart you really know oh, just how it feels

And you start breaking down and go into the pain

Keep on moving on a fast train

You're way over the line, next thing you're out of your mind

And you're out of your depth, in through the window she crept

Oh, there's nowhere to go in the sleet and the snow

Just keep on moving on a fast train

You had to go on the lam, stepping in no-man's land

Ain't nobody here on your waveband

Nobody even gonna lend you a helping hand

Oh, and you're so alone, can you really make it on your own?

Keep on moving on a fast train

Oh, going nowhere, except on a fast train

Oh, trying to get away from the past

Oh, keep on moving keep on moving on a fast train

Going nowhere, across the desert sand, through the barren waste

On a fast train going nowhere

On a fast train going nowhere
