Train I ride sixteen coaches long
Train I ride sixteen coaches long
Well that long black train brought my baby back home

Train train coming 'round around the bend
Train train coming 'round around the bend
Well it took my baby but it never will again no no not again

Train train coming down down the line
Train train coming down down the line
Well bring in my baby 'cause she's mine oh mine oh yeah

Train train coming 'round around the bend
Train train coming 'round around the bend
Well it took my baby but it never will again no no not again

Train train, oh yeah
Well it took my baby but it never will again no no not again

I went to a garden party to reminisce with my old friends
A chance to share old memories and play our songs again
When i got to the garden party, they all knew my name
No one recognized me, i didn't look the same

[Chorus]

But it's all right now, i learned my lesson well.
You see, ya can't please everyone, so ya got to please yourself

People came from miles around, everyone was there
Yoko brought her walrus, there was magic in the air
'n' over in the corner, much to my surprise
Mr. Hughes hid in dylan's shoes wearing his disguise

[Chorus]

Lott-in-dah-dah-dah, lot-in-dah-dah-dah
Played them all the old songs, thought that's why they came
No one heard the music, we didn't look the same
I said hello to "mary lou", she belongs to me
When i sang a song about a honky-tonk, it was time to leave

[Chorus]

Lot-dah-dah-dah (lot-dah-dah-dah)
Lot-in-dah-dah-dah

Someone opened up a closet door and out stepped johnny b. goode
Playing guitar like a-ringin' a bell and lookin' like he should
If you gotta play at garden parties, i wish you a lotta luck
But if memories were all i sang, i rather drive a truck

[Chorus]

Lot-dah-dah-dah (lot-dah-dah-dah)
Lot-in-dah-dah-dah

'n' it's all right now, learned my lesson well
You see, ya can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself

Did you ever want to go
Where you've never been before?
Did you ever want to know
Things you've never known before?

I'll take you there with me
And maybe then you'll see
It's easy to be free, yeah

Did you ever want to fly
Over the rainbow skies so high?
Did you ever wonder why
People tell you not to try?

I'll take you there with me
And maybe then you'll see
It's easy to be free, yeah
It's so easy to be free, yeah

I stood and waited where the river runs
It felt so good to feel the morning sun
And after all is said and done
I'm free

Did you ever want to go
Where you've never been before?
Did you ever want to know
Things you've never known before?

I'll take you there with me
And maybe then you'll see
It's easy to be free, yeah
It's so easy to be free, yeah
It's so easy to be free, yeah, yeah

There's a man in a suit at my front door
And he's got some paper in his hand
Says I got to come down to the station
And he hopes I'll take it like a man

'Cause they caught me takin' what wasn't mine
And it looks like I'll be doin' time
(Doin' time)

Give me five minutes more
To tell my baby goodbye

Well, they stood me up in front of a jury
And they told me what it was I'd done
And the judge said we're findin' you guilty

I said, "Judge, I'm not the guilty one"
There wasn't anythin' left I could say
'Cause they sentenced me to ninety days
(Ninety days)

Give me five minutes more
To tell my baby goodbye

Baby, I got somethin' to say
You know they're gonna put me away
It'll only be a matter of days
Then I'm comin' back to you
Comin' back to you, comin' back to you

Well, they're gonna put some walls around me
And there's nothin' anyone can do
I'm gonna do my time in the county
And I hope that time is all that I lose

Maybe this won't be so bad
Woman, don't you look so sad
(Look so sad)

Give me five minutes more
To tell my baby goodbye
Give me five minutes more
To tell my baby goodbye

Give me five minutes more
To tell my baby goodbye
Give me five minutes more
To tell my baby goodbye

Give me five minutes more
To tell my baby goodbye
Give me five minutes more
To tell my baby goodbye

You can buy you a house and a big shiny car
You can go without but you won't get too far
'Cause you need someone to see you through
Someone to tell you it's alright
And you get back what you've given and love is somethin' you can't buy

You can wear your fancy clothes and all those diamond rings
You can go where you go but it won't mean a thing
'Til you find someone to see you through, someone to tell you it's alright
And you get back what you've given and love is somethin' you can't buy

Your world is turnin'
It's turnin' upside down
Don't look behind you
'Cause there's no one around

You get everything you see then you wonder why
What you got you don't need and you can't be satisfied
'Till you find someone to see you through, someone to tell you it's alright
And you get back what you've given and love is somethin' you can't buy

Your world is turnin'
It's turnin' upside down
Don't look behind you
'Cause there's no one around

You get everything you see then you wonder why
What you got you don't need and you can't be satisfied
'Till you find someone to see you through, someone to tell you it's alright
And you get back what you've given and love is somethin' you can't buy
'cause you get back what you've given and love is somethin' you can't buy
You get back what you've given and love is somethin' you can't buy
