"Left Turn On A Red Light" Lyrics

Oooo hooo La do oh oh

It's nine o'clock at this old station
And my silver linin' ride is right on time
And as I buy myself a one-way ticket
For somewhere else on down the line
And I see that on their lonely faces
Of a people that will never come home
And when I stare into the mirror, mama
See myself all alone

Ohh!

And did you ever stop to wonder (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

Ohh..

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
When 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

Ohh..

And did you ever stop to wonder (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

Well Ohh..

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

Ohh..

And now I can stop my wonderin' (Wonder)
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, Oooooo

Whoa whoa oh oh
