Lyrics North Mississippi Allstars

North Mississippi Allstars

How I wish my train would come

It's so hard to struggle, it's hard to survive,

It's a struggle to stay alive.

I keep fighting on 'til we arrive.

I try to believe I will be received,

Lord knows I'm ready to leave.

Deliver me, I'm ready to leave.

Please deliver me.

How I wish my train would come

Carry me back home,

How I wish my train would come.

As you can tell, I'm not from here.

I've got to get the hell away from here,

I bid you a fare thee well.

Dark is the night, Cold is the ground,

No one to call friend can be found,

No one to lend a helping hand can be found

No one gives a damn

How I wish my train would come

And carry me back home,

How I wish my train would come.

The rain pouring down,

From the heavens above

Is cold as a mother's heart

I talk about trouble, it's my only friend'

I can smell the trouble blowin' in the wind.

Only thing I put my faith in

I try to believe, It's hard to believe,

There's a home out there for me,

Please deliver me, I'm ready to leave

Please deliver me, I'm ready to leave

Please deliver me, I'm ready to leave.

How I wish my train would come

And carry me back home,

How I wish my train would come.

(Please deliver me)

And carry me back home,

How I wish my train would come.

(I'm ready to leave)

And carry me, back, home,

How I wish my train would come

(Please deliver me)

And carry me back home,

How I wish my train would come

(I'm ready to leave )

And carry me back home,

How I wish my train would come.

(Please deliver me)

And take me back home
