Blackfoot Left Turn On a Red Light lyrics

Oh, Lord, oh no

It's nine o'clock in this ol' station,
And my silver-linin' ride is right on time
And then I buy myself a one-way ticket
To somewhere else on down the line

And I see the other faces
Of a people that will never come home
And when I stare into the mirror, Mama
I see myself all alone, no

And did you ever stop to wonder
'Bout the times that she laid by your side
When you know that I was right and you finally realize
You took a left turn on a red light

Oh, oh sun shines down on the desert
And it seems to make my life a haze
And I dream of my childhood sweetheart
And the freedom that I had in those days

Will I wake from all my dreamin'?
Will this boxcar always be my lonely home? Yeah
Well, I don't know where I am and I really don't give a damn

This crazy life of mine will soon be gone

Oh, oh and did you ever stop to wonder
About the times that she laid by your side
When you know that I was right and you finally realize
You took a left turn on a red light, oh oh oh

Well, it's nine o'clock at this old station
Once again my ride is right on time
And as I buy myself another ticket, Lord
For somewhere else on down the line

Well I'll always be a rambler
Will the ones I love always keep tellin' me
You stare too long in the mirror, son
Someday you'll be too blind to see

Oh, oh and now I'm stoppin' my wonderin'
About the times that she laid by my side
Now I know that I was right and I finally realize
I took a left turn on a red light, oh oh oh
