Casey Jones (Live at Philadelphia Civic Center, Philadelphia, PA, August 4-5, 1974) Lyrics

[Chorus]
Drivin' that train
High on cocaine
Casey Jones you'd better
Watch your speed
Trouble ahead
Trouble behind
And you know that notion
Just crossed my mind

[Verse 1]
This old engine
Makes it on time
Leaves Central Station
About a quarter to nine
Hits River Junction
At seventeen to
A quarter to ten
You know it's travelin' again

[Chorus]
Drivin' that train
High on cocaine
Casey Jones you'd better
Watch your speed
Trouble ahead
Trouble behind
And you know that notion
Just crossed my mind
[Verse 2]
Trouble ahead
The Lady in Red
Take my advice
You'd be bеtter off dead
Switchman's sleepin'
Train hundred and two
Is on thе wrong track
And headed for you

[Chorus]
Drivin' that train
High on cocaine
Casey Jones you'd better
Watch your speed
Trouble ahead
Trouble behind
And you know that notion
Just crossed my mind

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 3]
Trouble with you is
The trouble with me
Got two good eyes
But we still don't see
Come 'round the bend
You know it's the end
The fireman screams
And the engine just gleams
[Chorus]
Drivin' that train
High on cocaine
Casey Jones you'd better
Watch your speed
Trouble ahead
Trouble behind
And you know that notion
Just crossed my mind
Drivin' that train
High on cocaine
Casey Jones you'd better
Watch your speed
Trouble ahead
Trouble behind
And you know that notion
Just crossed my mind
Drivin' that train
High on cocaine
Casey Jones you'd better
Watch your speed
Trouble ahead
Trouble behind
And you know that notion
Just crossed my mind
Drivin' that train
High on cocaine
Casey Jones you'd better
Watch your speed
Trouble ahead
Trouble behind
And you know that notion
Just crossed my mind
Drivin' that train
High on cocaine
Casey Jones you'd better
Watch your speed
Trouble ahead
Trouble behind
And you know that notion
Just crossed my mind
Drivin' that train
High on cocaine
Casey Jones you'd better
Watch your speed
Trouble ahead
Oh, trouble behind
And you know that notion
Just crossed my mind
[Outro]
And you know that notion
Just crossed my mind

Thank you all, good night
