[Verse 1] Hear that morning train roll by Underneath the autumn sky Whistle blowing, wheels on track Takes me to the days way back When the world moved nice and slow And there were places left to go Morning train, don't pass me by I need that lonesome lullaby [Chorus] Morning train blues, carry me away To a simpler time, a better day When jazz was young and hearts were true Morning train blues, I'm missing you Chug along, chug along To the rhythm of this old train song [Verse 2] Coffee steaming, newspaper spread Dreams of places I ain't been yet But this morning train reminds me Of the peace I hope to find, see In the clickety-clack rhythm Of life's sweet, steady system Where every day begins the same With the calling of that train [Chorus] Morning train blues, carry me away To a simpler time, a better day When jazz was young and hearts were true Morning train blues, I'm missing you Chug along, chug along To the rhythm of this old train song [Bridge] Some folks say the train's too slow But I like the way it goes Taking time to see the view Making old things feel brand new [Instrumental - Harmonica and Piano Blues Solo] [Verse 3] Now I hear that whistle fade But the music that it made Lives inside my morning cup Till the next train comes back up Morning train will come around With that sweet familiar sound Reminding me that some things last Like the music from the past [Final Chorus] Morning train blues, never go away Bring me comfort every day When the world moves way too fast These train blues are built to last Chug along, chug along Forever singing this old train song [Outro] Morning train, morning blues These are sounds I'll never lose Clickety-clack, clickety-clack My heart's always on that track Morning train, take me home Where the jazz will never roam
