COMFORT TRAIN

VERSE I
Mama said her gift to me was spoken in her words
Don't make the same mistakes she made, now don't get hurt
'Cause sometimes in your hunger, to please and hold him true
You'll find the color of your life has turned to black and blue
You'll find the color of your life has turned to black and blue

PRE-CHORUS
So hard to stay ...... harder yet to go
But mama's words on the phone that day told me all I need to know...........

CHORUS I
Take the comfort train through New Orleans back home to Tennessee
Or take the fastest plane that you can find and get right home to me
I'm waitin' here with open arms and a love that's yours to hold
All you gotta do is leave All you gotta do is leave

VERSE 2
Mama said she understands, my daddy was the same
Sometimes his life was hard and she tried to bear his pain
But he crossed the line so many times so she finally had to go
Either that or live a bitter life, dressed in black and blue
Either that or live a bitter life, dressed in black and blue

PRE-CHORUS CHORUS 1

BRIDGE
The highest love you'll ever find is the one that's for yourself
Without that love, any other love is hollow as a shell
You'll always let him put you down, you'll always let him win
But mama's words came true today and I found myself again

CHORUS 2
I took the comfort train through New Orleans back home to Tennessee
Didn't need to take the fastest plane, that train was right for me
Mama's here with open arms and a love that's mine to hold
All I had to do was leave All I had to do was leave

I took the comfort train through New Orleans back home to Tennessee
I took the comfort train through New Orleans back home to Tennessee
I took the comfort train through New Orleans............back home
