Milwaukee

Lyrics

Well well well well well
 Keep on talkin' 'bout a sweet train
 Born in my Mama's dream to be happy
 Born in my Mama's dream to be happy
 Sweet train, come on rolling
 Sweet train, Milwaukee road
 See the Moon moving along the sky, yes
 Here's a car moving along the highway
 You moving to California with me
 I'm almost
 Two thousand miles from my home sweet home
 Two thousand miles from the arms
 That bore me
 Two thousand miles from my sweet home
 Milwaukee
 Yeah yeah, talkin' 'bout Milwaukee
 Oh this train screaming touched the sky
 There's a rain clouding the road before me
 Strange moaning and now
 What did we thought that I would be
 Find myself
 Two thousand miles from my home sweet home
 Two thousand miles from the arms
 That bore me
 Two thousand miles from my sweet home
 Milwaukee
 But I keep singing roll on, Milwaukee road
 Roll in the rain and cold
 Don't you know this train
 Born in my Mama's dream to be happy
 It moves me
 Singin' roll on, Milwaukee road
 Got to warm up the tracks and cold
 Sweet train born in my Mama's dream
 To be happy
 Well let me tell you something
 Now you don't know
 How they bring me down
 Sometimes they try to bring me down
 Let me inform you
 Sometimes scrapping and scratching my back
 Good man, well well
 And I got the greatest urge
 To leave this town
 A dirty town of broken dreams
 And broken hearts and broken lives
 And twisted ghostly songs and souls
 And wailing sunsets
 Yeah yeah yeah yeah
 And they say now don't you leave this town
 Got to stick around now, kid
 Just to see it crumble to the ground
 Don't you leave this town
 You got to stick around now, kid
 Just to see it crumble to the ground
 Tell me, say brother
 Don't leave this town
 Got to stick around
 Watch it crumble now to the ground
 Said don't you leave this town
 Now stick around
 Watch it crumble to the ground
 I wake up early, yes
 I wake up early, Lord
 I wake up early in the morning
 Sweating and crying and wailing
 I wake up
 See the moon moving along the sky
 Lord, I been trying, trying
 To pull some good luck my way
 And all I need is someone to love me
 Find myself
 Two thousand miles from my home sweet home
 Two thousand miles from the arms
 That bore me
 Two thousand miles from my sweet home
 Milwaukee
 But I keep singing roll on, Milwaukee road
 Gonna roll in the rain and cold
 Do you know this train
 Was born in my Mama's dream to be happy
 You're so fine, singing roll on
 Milwaukee road
 Warm up the tracks and cold
 Sweet train born in my Mama's dream
 To be happy
 Yeah yeah, got to get it together
 Gonna be happy, boy
 ♪
 Get yourself together
