Strangers On A Train New Riders of the Purple Sage

Battin-Fowley

Behind the lines back in the good old days
Starlight special, there was no other way
Playing one-eyed jacks when you got on board
My heart did stop, have mercy Lord

Colorado heat was killing me
But when I looked up in the sky
Saw the face of a Texas angel
When I gazed into your eyes

And I'm sorry I never loved you
We were strangers on a train
Someday we'll fall in love
When we pass this way again

Northern luck, I didn't say a thing
With your leather boots and diamond rings
All you need is love so the story goes
But when I saw you move, my body Frooze

And I stood there, wondering about your life
You were a woman of mystery
Were you someone else's wife ?
You sure appeal to me
