Johnny Horton - The Golden Rocket Lyrics

(Hank Snow)

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.

--- Instrumental ---

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

Yeah, I 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
Bought a one way ticket and I won't be back
This Golden Rocket's gonna roll my blues away.

--- Instrumental ---

Yeah, hear her thunder on through the night
This Golden Rocket is a doin' me right
And that sunny southland sure is a part of me
From your call board earse my name
Your fire went out you done lost your flames
And this Golden Rocket is gonna roll my blues away...
