This one's for "KING
MEMPHIS".(That's my reference to Elvis in this song.) And it's also a
tribute for the rest of the original SUN gang from Memphis, written
in 1979, from the "BLUE SUEDE HEART album by Alan Leatherwood, Ohio

Mystery Train's Still
Runnin'
by Alan Leatherwood
(verse 1)
Mystery train's still
runnin',
She been runnin' all
along,
Mystery train still
runnin'
She's runnin' twice as
strong,
Like my heartbeat,
When I'm rollin' in my baby's
arms
Long and lean, don't burn no
coal
Mystery Train still runs on
soul
(verse 2)
Mystery Train still
runnin'
She 'bout to fly right off the
track
and head on back to Glory
to bring King Memphis back
It's bringin' him back,
bringin' him in with all of his
friends
Look up now, high above
The Mystery train runs on
love
(bridge)
I don't know, but I've been
told
The streets of heaven are made
of
gold
Little Sun records and Rainbow
lights
Everybody's singing in the
middle
of the night
Middle of the night....singing
in
the sky,
go tell it on the
mountain,
I'm tellin' you why
There's a wheel in a wheel
It's somethin' you can feel,
somethin' you can feel
to make you feel
real........
Like Buddy Holly and
Beethoven
or Abraham, Martin, and
John
You're gonna see anyone you
ever
loved
When the train comes to take
you
on
Most of all, get ready
To catch a free ride on the
dawn
(verse 3)
Mystery Train's still
runnin'
She's been runnin' all
along
Mystery train still
runnin'
She's runnin' through my
song
like my heartbeat
when I'm rollin' up in heaven's
arms
Here it comes, shout out
loud,
Mystery train's riding on a
cloud........
It's got a rainbow all around
it....
LET'S GO!
Mystery train still runnin
Mystery train still
runnin'
Mystery train still
runnin'.......
