lyrics

Verse 1

Got no time for excuses
Don't matter what you say
It’s the same old lies I'm hearing
Better things will come my way

Don’t tell me times are changin
When it’s all the same
Cause, I don't believe it
and I don't think I can stay

So I'm headed southbound
yes I'm leaving here today
on that steam train!

Verse 2

So Ride me down to Memphis
Or Nashville, Tennessee
I'll find my Southern Comfort
Find my piece of sanity

Can't sing that honky tonk
In a crowded subway line
With Wall Street pencil pushers
In their New York State of mind

At the station
Find me by the railway
Aboard that Steam Train!

Chorus

Oh- I've got nothing left to lose
Got that Steam Train Blues
Feel like things will never change
Won’t you take me far away
Take me far away.....

Verse 3

Should I head down south, I
Think that I could find
a little backwood tavern
Where we could play our songs all night

On a Midnight train to Memphis
to Somewhere, Tennessee
I'll chase my Southern Comfort
with a shot of gasoline!

Got my ticket
And I guess I best be on my way
to ride that Steam Train

2nd Chorus
Oh- I've got nothing left to lose
Got that steam train blues
Feel like things will never change
Won’t you take me far away
Take me far away.....

Maybe I was born to lose
From that steam train blues
Things will always stay the same
So please take me far away
Take me far away, Now!......

Bound for Nowhere
by The Union

These are our brothas from another motha, The Union. These boys got their roots firmly planted into the northern Midwest rustbelt sound- blues, country, grit, blood, sweat, and beers. Overall kickass! Sixgunn El Dorado
