Black Top Train
Ellis Paul

Chorus:

Ooo-ooo On a blacktop train, they're rolling like the thunder in a midwest rain

Ooo-ooo On a blacktop train, every revolution rides the wheels of change


They poured blacktop two-lane right through the cornfields

Laid a stripe right across my back

The wheels came spinning with the wide-eyed crusaders,

Out on a quest for the trail of Jack Kerouac

Silos, scarecrows, American machine,

Rev up your engines you're as fast as a train

Oh my Lord, look how the weather has changed

Cyclones, dust storms, blacktop trains

Cyclones, dust storms, blacktop trains


Chorus:


They're gonna write a new song they blow on by


Start a revolution and blow on by

It ain't ever gonna be the same


They come east coast, west coast, Chryslers and Oldsmobiles

Smoke rolling, chrome on the plains

Musicians pull over looking over their shoulders

At Hank Williams, Buddy Holly lighting the flame

Motels, oilwells, truckstop, marines

Going to California with their pin-up dreams

Roll down your window, brother, shout out my name

You're on route 66, on a blacktop train

Route 66, on a blacktop train


(chorus)
