Rock Island Line (Bear’s Sonic Journals: Live At The Carousel Ballroom, April 24 1968) lyrics
by Johnny Cash
[Intro]
...
[Chorus]
Down the Rock Island Line, she's a mighty good road
Rock Island Line it's the road to ride
Rock Island Line it's a mighty good road
Well if you ride it you got to ride it like you find it
Get your ticket at the station for the Rock Island Line
[Verse]
Looked cloudy in the west and it looked like rain
Round the curve came a passenger train
Northbound train on a southbound track
He's alright a leaving but he won't be back
[Chorus]
Down the Rock Island Line, she's a mighty good road
Rock Island Line it's the road to ride
Rock Island Line it's a mighty good road
Well if you ride it you got to ride it like you find it
Get your ticket at the station for the Rock Island Line
