Race The Breeze - Rory Gallagher

Well that sounds like the night train, blowin' it’s stack

Spreading it’s wings on homeward track

Arrived here this morning, won’t be here for long

As fast as a shooting star, that’s' what them eight wheels are for

Come on baby lets jump aboard

It’s a mean piece of transport baby

You know that’s no joke

On board the aging gamble smiles as he peels

The seal off a new deck, then he quietly deals

Hands round the table from the bottom he slips three

Watch yourself if you play this game the fastest card game on wheels

Come on, won’t you be there when it leaves

Can’t you hear them talkin' about it together we could race the breeze

It shines out a light, in the darkest night

To make us feel alright

To make us feel alright

I’ve prayed every night

That you will wanna go there too

Come on darlin', let’s go Night is over as the dawn begins to crack

Sounds like a hen hatching in a chicken shack

Late last night I think I heard a lonely cry

Heard the blind owl howling in a moonless sky

Come on Won’t you be there when it leaves

Can’t ya hear me talkin'

Together we could race the breeze

Old engine driver never stepped on the ground

Got no degree in geography but he’s been around

Knows all the back lines, eyes can hardly see

Don’t tell this man to slow down

'Cause he don’t know what you mean

Come on Won’t you be there when it leaves

Can’t you hear me talkin baby

Together we can race the breeze

It shines out a light, in the darkest night

To make us feel alright

To make us feel alright

I’ve prayed every night

That you will wanna go there too

Alright

Well that sounds like the night train, blowin' it’s stack

Spreading it’s wheels on homeward track

Arrived here this morning, won’t be here for long

As fast as a shooting star, that’s' what them eight wheels are for

Won’t you be there when it leaves

Can’t you hear me talkin' baby

Together we can race the breeze

Can’t you hear me talkin' baby

Together we can race the breeze

Can’t you hear me talkin' baby

Together we can race the breeze
