Johnny Horton
The Golden Rocket
[Verse 1]
From old Montana down to Alabam
I've been before and I'll travel again
You triflin' women can't keep a good man down
You dealt the cards but you missed a play
So hit the road and be on your way
Gonna board the Golden Rocket and leave this town

[Chorus]
Well hear her thunder on through the night this Golden Rocket is doin' me right
And that sunny southland sure is a part of me
From your call board erase my name
Your fire went out, you done lost your flame
And this Golden Rocket is gonna roll my blues away

[Verse 2]
Yeah, it was a good engine a runnin' on time
But baby I'm switchin' to another line
So honey never hang your signal out for me
I'm tired of runnin' on the same old track
I bought a one way ticket and I won't be back
This Golden Rocket's gonna blow my blues away

[Chorus]
Well hear her thunder on through the night this Golden Rocket is doin' me right
And that sunny southland sure is a part of me
From your call board erase my name
Your fire went out, you done lost your flame
And this Golden Rocket is gonna roll my blues away
