Lyrics Johnny Cash

Johnny Cash

Crystal Chandeliers and Burgundy

This boxcar's been my home since St Antone

'Cause this ankle of mine I turned while hoppin' on

Shoots pain that feeds my dreams with luxuries

I see crystal chandeliers and burgundy

I can feel my mother's heartbeat from the track

It's the rhythm of a son that won't be back

Lord knows where my mind is takin' me

I see crystal chandeliers and burgundy

If that conductor only knew all the trouble I've been through

Just to be here on this train once again

Freedom of a hobo ain't so bad you can dream of all the wealth you might've had

I guess livin' on this train is gettin' to me I see crystal chandeliers and burgundy

If that conductor only knew all the trouble I've been through

Just to be here on this train once again

If there's nothing in this world I've gotta do

But to ride these rails of steel my whole life through

Then take away these visions that I see of crystal chandeliers and burgundy

Of crystal chandeliers and burgundy
