Full Steam Ahead!
The city lights twirl by
like a carousel
Hold on tight
we might just ride this thing to hell
The tracks run out from
underneath your sleeve
and underneath this train
that takes us into Tennessee
Just give us a place
to lay our heads
and we'll ride these rails
until we're dead
We ain't gonna change
for no man or state
Full steam ahead!
It's Alabama by nightfall
Louisiana by Dawn
and freedom if the law men
don't find out which train we're on
We got no food for cooking
the sterno's just for the light
but the way it hits your cherry lips
whets my appetite
Just give us a place
to lay our heads
We'll ride these rails
until we're dead
We ain't gonna change
for no man or state
Full steam ahead!
The jungle down in Baton Rouge
is more than you've ever seen
but tonight, just shut your eyes
my Love, and let it light your dreams
Come this time tomorrow
we'll have reign of the whole damn camp
It might be Hell for a Christian
but it's Heaven for a tramp
Just give us a place
to lay our heads
We'll ride these rails
until we're dead
We ain't gonna change
for no man or state
Full steam ahead!
Just give us a place
to lay our heads
We'll ride these rails
until we're dead
We ain't gonna change
for no man or state
Full steam ahead!
