Fast Trains To Texas      MP3 Excerpt
Brian Burns - (C)opr. 1999 - Brian Burns Music (BMI)

There’s an old Pullman porter whose fingers shoot lightning
and he can make fools travel faster than light.
He’d be taking me home on the rails of my memories
if wishes were fast trains to Texas tonight.

There’s a song on a jukebox somewhere in Uvalde,
I swear I can hear it when the wind blows just right,
and I would dance like a demon in the arms of an angel
if wishes were fast trains to Texas tonight.

Yes, if dreams and desires could move mighty engines
and drive locomotives through the fabric of time,
I’d be rolling like thunder into Sweetwater County
on the 12th of September, 1989.

There’s a live oak wind blowing through her bedroom curtains
while dreams dance around her in the hazy moonlight.
Lord, my kisses would wake her and I’d never forsake her
if wishes were fast trains to Texas tonight.
