Drive These Blues Away Songtext / Lyric

Now the wind blows cold
Bells ring out
Way across
Town tonight
It`s gettin` too dark to see
Steel glass rain
Starin` at the
Bright headlights
It`s dark as a dungeoned house
Ooh and for heavens` sakes
Heart is as black as coal
It don`t have to be this way

Waitin` on that sunnyland train
You`re gonna make it any day
Get onboard that sunnyland train
Drive these blues away
Well it don`t have to be this way

Down in the alley by the liquor store
Gotta get some joy
Nobody knows folks like these
They`re gonna do what they can tonight
Oh Lord
To get a little sweet
Sweet relief
My last dollar is gone and spent
These ain`t christian days
Livin` off fat back meat
It don`t have to be this way

Waitin` on that sunnyland train
You`re gonna make it any day
Get onboard that sunnyland train
Drive these blues away
Well it don`t have to be this way

Well now the train pulls in
Every quarter hour
Believe it friend
Don`t matter who you are
It`s one for the ticket
Two for the tracks
Three to get ready
Don`t be looking
Looking back

Waitin` on that sunnyland train
You`re gonna make it any day
Get onboard that sunnyland train
Drive these blues away
Well it don`t have to be this way

Well it don`t have to be this way

Well it don`t have to be this way
