Version City

Track F1
 
"I've had an awful lot of requests recently, asking: 'What happened to all those old songs?' So just for you tonight, we're winding the clock up and playing 'em for ya." I've always wanted to cross the ocean I've always wanted to cross the sea I've always wanted to... There is a train at Version City Waiting for the rhythm mail If you can jump then jump right now She can pull you through to better days Is that the train that they speak of The one I heard in my younger days All great bluesmen have rode her I'm jumping up going to ride that train There's a lonely soul out on the crossroads He's waiting there in the pouring rain He's looking for that great ride yeah That'll take him to oh what's her name? So I rode that train from Version City For ninety-nine and one half days I never heard such rhythm sound It was in my soul which was on the train We went straight through Syndrome Junction Up and over the Acapella Pass Then Gibson Town and Fenderville All stations to the Mesa Boogie ranch We saw that soul out on the crossroads Waiting there in the pouring rain We called hey engine slow your rhythms See he wants to ride the version train We rode that train from Version City For ninety-nine and one half years I never seen such funky country While riding with the engineers I could not fill no application Before I rode this rhythm train I could not work at my station Before I rode the version train There is a train, there is a train at Version City Waiting for the rhythm mail If you can jump then jump right now She can pull you through to better days She can pull you through to better days Pull you through to better days (x3)
