Noah Hunt & Jason Dennie
Bought my baby a new cadillac
She hit the road ain't never come back
All I got is this shotgun shack
I'm gonna ride that train in the morning.
Yeah the record company man said he'd make me a star
Stick by me and we'll both go far
I'm a loser drinking in a dead end bar
I'm gonna ride that train in the morning.
That long black train will be pulling on down
The whistle blows like a shotgun sound
I'm gonna bury my problems deep in the ground
I'm gonna ride that train in the morning.
Yeah blest are those who bend and don't break
Living hard gets easy when you know what's at stake
I've had just about all I can take
I'm gonna ride that train in the morning.
Yeah you grow up to be lean and strong
They beat you down with right and wrong
You gotta kill the things that don't belong
You gotta ride that train in the morning.
That long black train will be pulling on down
The whistle blows like a shotgun sound
I'm gonna bury my problems deep in the ground
I'm gonna ride that train in the morning.
That long black train will be pulling on down
The whistle blows like a shotgun sound
I'm gonna bury my problems deep in the ground
I'm gonna ride that train in the morning.
I'm gonna ride that train in the morning yeah!
Oh lay down, my sweet love
Oh lay down, my little dove
Oh lay down - gonna rise above
Pretty Mama won't you turn my world around.
I once had sweet love so true
But I cut and beat her
I was so cruel
I'll never hurt, one as pretty as you
Pretty Mama won't you turn my world around.
If you would just- be my girl
Cuz I have been all, all around this world
Gonna bring ya diamonds baby
Gonna bring you pearls
Pretty Mama won't you turn- my world around.
Lord above, I ain't got no friends
I'm going down to the river
Gonna jump right in
The cold cold water
Wash away my sins
Pretty Mama won't you turn- my world around
Pretty Mama won't you turn- my world around
Oh yeah -yeah
Now I feel good
No one can hurt me
No one can reach me
What will you teach me
The gun replaces your manhood
Disease displaces your childhood
It's good when it doesn't feel good
Now this is all understood
Defied in the worlds turning wood
Defied inthe worlds turning wood
So it came to pass
And I rode upon the devil's sea
Have I gone insane
Or am I finally free
I'm crouching in a closet
Somewhere deep inside of me
If I stay too long I'll suffocate
For I am all I'll ever be
Defied in the worlds turning wood
Defied inthe worlds turning wood
Now I feel good
No one can hurt me
No one can reach me
What will you teach me
Defied in the worlds turning wood
Defied inthe worlds turning wood
Defied in the worlds turning wood
Defied inthe worlds turning wood

And if all the teardrops went to heaven
And if all pain was divine
Then honey I would be your salvation
Baby, I could make your spirit shine.
How long will you let true love last forever
And how far can you believe in now or never
There's a light that's trapped behind your eyes
All my life, all my life I've been waiting
To see your spirit rise.
It's funny how the sun comes when I'm dreaming
It forces me to wake and think of you
I'll bring you a message like the rebirth
You'll give me light to see me through.
Let me know that I'm the only one that matters
Let me know I'll never be like you
If you could tame, the beast beneath these waters
Turn this red tide into blue.
Ooooooooh-
And if all the teardrops went to heaven
Instead of falling from your eyes
Maybe all my sins would be forgiven
Kill the sadness, kill the lies.
And how long will you let true love last forever
And how far can you believe in now or never
There's a light that's trapped behind your eyes
All my life, all my life I've been waiting
To see - All my life, all my life I've been waiting
To see- All my life, all my life I've been waiting
To see your spirit rise.
To see your spirit rise.
Baby, I think that I could love you
And I think you could learn to love me
I swear now to heaven up above us
You're my strenght and sweet harmony
Baby, If I was a dreamer
I'd never dream of one as perfect as you
I'd never dream you'd even look my way
Or give me everything and forever be true
Baby, If I was a dragon
I would fly so high in the sky
Oh I would write your name in smoke and fire
Unlike fames my love will never die
Baby, If I was a monster
I would scare away all your pain and fear
But you would never have to fear me
I'd hold close and dry up all your tears
I'd hold you close and dry up all your tears.
Hey girl I'm talking to you
I'm finding out things that I never knew
And that's alright- that's alright
Cuz you're my baby
Hey girl I've been wondering when
You're gonna open up and let me in
But that's alright- that's alright
You drive me crazy
And your soul's light shone
On a heart made of stone
And I knew I would never be alone
Never be alone
Hey girl I've been thinking of you
You make the grass so green
And the sky so blue
So bright, like up in heaven
Hey girl I'm glad it's okay
All the messed up things I do and I say
And that's alright- that's alright
Cuz I am crazy
And your soul's light shone
On a heart made of stone
And I knew I would never be alone
Oh never be alone
Hey baby it gets so complex
You talk about cigarettes and books and sex
And that's alright- that's alright
Cuz you're my baby
And your soul's light shone
On a heart made of stone
And I knew I would never be alone
Never be alone
And your soul's light shone
On a heart made of stone
And I knew I would never be alone
Never be alone
Never be alone, never be alone
Oh yeah...never...ever...whoa yeah..oh yeah
Well I run on a mail train
I can't buy a thrill
I've been up all night
Leaning on your window sill
Well if I die on top of the hill
If I don't make it baby
You know my darling will
Whoooooo hoooooo
The whole world is in a spin
Whooooo hoooooo
The whole world is in a spin
Don't the moon look good
Shinin' in through the trees
Don't the brake man look good
Flagging down them double E's?
Don't the sun look good
Goin down over the sea?
Don't my gal look fine,
Coming after me?
Whoooooo hooooo
The whole world has lost it's mind
Whooooo hooooo
The whole world has lost it's mind
Well the winter time has come
Window filled with frost
I was up all night
But I, I could not get across
Yeah I just wanna be your lover baby
I don't wanna be your boss - keep that in mind
When your train gets lost
Whoooooo hooooooo
The whole world is doing fine
Whoooo hoooooo
The whole world is doing fine...fine
When your train gets lost
When your train gets lost
When your train gets lost
Yeah- hay-a
I woke up with Cuba on my mind
Camping out in the Angola bush
'bout a thousand dreams behind
I woke up with Cuba on my mind.
I woke up with Trujillo on my mind
I was in the Dominican
With the CIA on the line
I woke up with Cuba on my mind.
I woke up with Duvalier on my mind
I was in Port-au-Prince
Making gangsters tow the line
I woke up with Cuba on my mind.
¿Somos ambos Cubanos?
Somos todos humanos.
Soldados por fortunas,
Encantado ala Cuba.
I woke up with JFK on my mind
They say I shot him on the grassy knoll
But I never took the time
I woke up with Cuba on my mind.
I woke up with Fidel on my mind
Checking into the Watergate
With Nixon and his kind
I woke up with Cuba on my mind.
I woke up with freedom on my mind
Wading through the Everglades
Heading southward, one more time
I woke up with freedom on my mind.
¿Somos ambos Cubanos?
Somos todos humanos.
Soldados olvidados,
Somos ambos Cubanos.
Translation
Are we all Cubans
We are all humans.
Soilders of fortune,
enchanted by Cuba.
Are we all Cubans
We are all humans.
Soilders now forgotten.
We are all Cubans.
It's one of those days when you can breathe
And you can dream
I'm tired of fearing and sneering and running away
From all you deceive
A child had a fear of falling
From the root of it all I hear him calling
Saying don't be afraid of letting it go-ho
There are better ways of losing control
It's one of those things that you could be
If you were free
I'm tired of taking and breaking and shaking you down
Making you feel like me
When you look in the mirror I hope you're amused
Well it's alright down here if you like being used
Don't be afraid of letting it go-ho
There are better ways of losing control
It's one of those days where I love you so-
But you already know that
I'm tired of caring and staring you've given it all
But you won't let it show
A child had a fear of falling
From the heart of it all I hear him calling
Don't be afraid of letting it go-ho
There are better ways of losing control
Better ways of losing control
Better ways of losing control.

The name she gave was Caroline
daughter of a miner
her ways were free
it seemed to me
that sunshine walked beside her
She came from Spencer
across the hill
she said her pa had sent her
'cause the coal was low
and soon the snow
would turn the skies to winter
She said she'd come
to look for work
she was not seeking favors
and for a dime a day
and a place to stay
she'd turn those hands to labor
But the times were hard, Lord,
the jobs were few
all through Tecumseh valley
but she asked around
and a job she found
tending bar at Gypsy Sally's
She saved enough to get back home
when spring replaced the winter
but her dreams were denied
her pa had died
the word come down from Spencer
So she turned to whorin'
out on the streets
with all the lust inside her
and it was many a man
returned again
to lay himself beside her
They found her down beneath the stairs
that led to Gypsy Sally's
in her hand when she died
was a note that cried
fare thee well... Tecumseh valley
The name she gave was Caroline
daughter of a miner
her ways were free
it seemed to me
that sunshine walked beside her.
Last night I walked with a younger self
Upon knitted branches, quilt and lawnchair castles
And it made me sick to think I'd never sing
To release these tigers bound by thread and string
Yes I believe, in my own voice
I believe in what it has to say
I still believe in the innocence, that we gave away
I still believe in the innocence that we gave away
Every thought in my head has been thought before
Every pain in my heart, every light in my soul
So I felt like a fool and I sat down to write
And I felt everything was gonna be alright
Yes I believe, in my own voice
I believe in what it has to say
I still believe in the innocence, that we gave away
I still believe in the innocence that we gave away
In the space between now and then
Lost the fire, lost a friend
And I'll never be the same again
Every thought in my head has been thought before
Every pain in my heart, every light in my soul
Yes I believe, in my own voice
I believe in what it has to say
I still believe in the innocence, that we gave away
I still believe in the innocence that we gave away
I still believe in the innocence that we gave away
