Poems
Dec 2014
White train
She wants me to come to Kansas
Said she'd introduce me to the band
I asked her if she'd thought anymore
about letting me be her man
She sings a mean Bonnie Raitt
and she wails it from the heart
Gonna tell the truth about it
Honey, that's the hardest part
There's a white train a'comin
north from Wichita
I want to make it to Lecompton
before the snow begins to fall
I know just what she needs
when she's low and when it's dark
She needs that white train
running north from Wichita
I need to lay beside her
and listen to her heart
Gonna tell the truth about it
Honey, that's the hardest part.
r ~ 12/15/14
Italicized words from Bonnie Raitt's Tangled and Dark/Luck of the Draw/1997.
