it s trouble on the left and trouble on the right i ve run from trouble nearly all my life it s true yes it s true i met a dark haired lady with a crystal ball she said the law s gonna get ya and stick ya behind stone walls then she took my money and run away well i was like a long train gone gone a long time ago long train gone gone like you ve never seen before i saw the fireballs flashin through the joker s eyes but when she reached for my heart i cut her right down to stone i left her standin alone i stayed low to the east in the west bound rain i thought i missed the flood before it fell down again at dawn i thought it best to move on again and i was like a long train gone gone a long time ago long train gone gone like you ve never seen before when the walls come tumblin down and the rain continues to fall and you feel yourself shakin when the light s gone out in the hall and you re all alone son be like a long train gone gone a long time ago long train gone gone like you ve never seen before gone like you ve never seen before
