[Cannot_Wait_4Disney]

A much better version of peace train and I'm happy to say that this singer didn't become a radical advocate of exactly the opposite of the song.

10,000 Maniacs.
From the Album In My Tribe. It was removed from the album in 1989 except some of the international versions. So only those of us that bought early have it.

You can also find it on the album Campfire Songs.

And yet another.

HMMMM I think Johnny Cash liked Trains.

“Midnight Train to Georgia” - Gladys Knight

He's leaving (leaving)
On that midnight train to Georgia (leaving on a midnight train)
Hmm, yeah
Said he's going back (going back to find)
To a simpler place and time (and when he takes that ride)
Oh yes, he is (guess who's gonna sit right by his side)
And I'll be with him (I know you will)
On that midnight train to Georgia
(Leaving on a midnight train to Georgia)
I'd rather live in his world (live in his world)
Than live without him in mine…

“You Never Even Call Me By My Name” - David Allan Coe

Well, a friend of mine named Steve Goodman wrote that song,
And he told me it was the perfect country & western song.
I wrote him back a letter, and I told him it was not the perfect country & western song,
Because he hadn't said anything at all about mama
Or trains, or trucks, or prison, or getting' drunk.

Well, he sat down and wrote another verse to the song, and he sent it to me
And, after reading it I realized that my friend had written the perfect country & western song.

And I felt obliged to include it on this album.
The last verse goes like this here -

Well, I was drunk the day my mom got out of prison,
And I went to pick her up in the rain.
But, before I could get to the station in my pickup truck
She got run over by a darned old train!

"Fly Over States"

A couple of guys in first class on a flight
From New York to Los Angeles
Kinda making small talk killin' time
Flirting with the flight attendants
Thirty thousand feet above, could be Oklahoma

Just a bunch of square cornfields and wheat farms
Man, it all looks the same
Miles and miles of back roads and highways
Connecting little towns with funny names
Who'd want to live down there in the middle of nowhere?

They've never drove through Indiana
Met the man who plowed that earth
Planted that seed, busted his *** for you and me
Or caught a harvest moon in Kansas
They'd understand why God made
Those fly over states

I bet that mile long Santa Fe
Freight train engineer's seen it all
Just like that flatbed cowboy
Stacking US Steel on a three day haul
Roads and rails under their feet
Yeah, that sounds like a first class seat

On the plains of Oklahoma
With a windshield sunset in your eyes
Like a water colored painted sky
You'll think heaven's doors have opened
You'll understand why God made
Those fly over states

Take a ride across the badlands
Feel that freedom on your face
Breathe in all that open space
Meet a girl from Amarillo
You'll understand why God made
You might even wanna plant your stakes
In those fly over states

Have you ever been through Indiana
On the plains of Oklahoma
Take a ride

“I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry” - Hank Williams

Hear that lonesome whippoorwill
He sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is whining low
I'm so lonesome I could cry…

Green Green Grass Of Home​

Tom Jones
The old hometown looks the same
As I step down from the train
And there to meet me is my mama and papa
Down the road I look and there runs Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home
Yes, they'll all come to meet me
Arms reaching, smiling sweetly
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home
The old house is still standing
Though the paint is cracked and dry
And there's that old oak tree that I used to play on
Down the lane, I walk with my sweet Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home
Then I awake and look around me
At four grey walls that surround me
And I realize, yes, I was only dreaming
For there's a guard and there's a sad, old padre
On and on, we'll walk at daybreak
Again, I'll touch the green, green grass of home
Yes, they'll all come to see me
In the shade of that old oak tree
As they lay me
'Neath the green, green grass of home

Night Train​

Jason Aldean
I've been thinking 'bout you all day, baby
Waiting on that sun to go down
Whatcha say I pick you up after work
Slide over, we slip out to the outskirts of town
I got a blanket and a fifth of Comfort
A little something to knock off the edge
It's supposed to get a little cool tonight
Looks like I'm going to have to hold you tight, yeah
About a mile off Old Mill Road
In that spot nobody knows
We park the truck and we take off running
Hurry up, girl I hear it coming
Got a moon and a billion stars
The sound of steel and old box cars
The thought of you is driving me insane
Come on baby, let's go listen to the night train
Yeah, I hope it's gonna be a long one
And if we're lucky, it's moving slow
I wouldn't mind if it lasted all night
Lying next to you on that hillside
Let's go
About a mile off Old Mill Road
In that spot nobody knows
We park the truck and we take off running
Hurry up, girl I hear it coming
Got a moon and a billion stars
The sound of steel and old box cars
The thought of you is driving me insane
Come on baby, let's go listen to the night train
Let's go listen to the night train
About a mile off Old Mill Road
That spot nobody knows
We park the truck and we take off running
Hurry up, girl I hear it coming
Got a moon and a billion stars
The sound of steel and old box cars
The thought of you is driving me insane
Come on baby, let's go listen to the night train

A much better version of peace train

Natalie and 10,000's version is good, but a bit too 'pop' for me. I do prefer the original. But this is a nice cover.
