Back from the Dead
I can see the shapes
I'm coming back
Back from the dead
Like before
Take me
Back to the dead
Just to play it once more
I wanna go
Back from the dead
Like before
Take me
Back to the dead
Hope you dig the decor
Woke up in the morning
Eyes to the sun
Choking on a cigarette
Sippin’ some rum
Thought I lost my lady
Good thing I got more
Found her she was drowning
Washed right up on the shore
Out here in California
They say the rain don't ever fall
(And sure don't ever snow oh no)
But if I came from Georgia
I’d probably speak
With a southern drawl
(And say stuff like howdy ya"ll)
Feet don't fail me now
I got to travel to see my girl
In the next town
In the next town
(Hey)
Hear my train a comin'
(Hey)
Now I'm off and runnin' (to see my girl)
(Hey)
Hear my train a comin'
(Hey)
Now I'm off and runnin' (to play another show)
Back from the dead
Like before
Take me
Back to the dead
Just to play it once more
I wanna go
Back from the dead
Like before
Take me
Back to the dead
Hope you dig the decor
Found myself a sweetheart
Down in Mexico
She made the best tamales
Barely wore no clothes
I thought she really loved me
But one night in bed
I woke up with a pistol
Pointed right at my head
Out in New York City
They say the city don’t never sleep
(From too much caffeine,)
But when I was in Cincinnati
I seen Johnny Fever walking down the street
(In aviator shades and snakeskin boots)
Feet don’t fail me now
I gotta travel to see my girl
In the next town
In the next town
(Hey)
Hear my train a comin'
(Hey)
Now I’m off and runnin' (to see my girl)
(Hey)
Hear my train a comin'
(Hey)
Now I'm off and runnin’ (to play another show)
Back from the dead
Like before
Take me
Back to the dead
Just to play it once more
I wanna go
Back from the dead
Like before
Take me
Back to the dead
Hope you dig the decor
Hear my train a comin'
Back from the dead
Now I'm off and runnin'
Back to the dead
Hear my train a comin'
Back from the dead
Now I'm off and runnin'
Back to the dead
