| From old Montana down to Alabam |
| I’ve been before and I’ll travel again |
| You triflin' women can’t keep a good man down |
| You dealt the cards but you missed a play |
| So hit the road and be on your way |
| Gonna board the Golden Rocket and leave this town. |
| --- Instrumental --- |
| Well, hear her thunder on through the night |
| This Golden Rocket is a doin' me right |
| And that sunny southland sure is a part of me |
| From your call board earse my name |
| Your fire went out you done lost your flames |
| And this Golden Rocket is gonna roll my blues away. |
| Yeah, I was a good engine a runnin' on time |
| But baby I’m switchin' to another line |
| So honey never hang your signal out for me |
| I’m tired of runnin' on the same old track |
| Bought a one way ticket and I won’t be back |
| This Golden Rocket’s gonna roll my blues away. |
