Mystery Train's Still Runnin'

 

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 Moon #778


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'.......
