Milwaukee - Al Jarreau

Well well well well well

Keep on talkin' 'bout a sweet train

Born in my mama’s dream to be happy

Born in my mama’s dream to be happy

Sweet train, keep on rollin'

Sweet train, Milwaukee road

See the moon movin' along the sky, yes

Here’s a car movin' along the highway

You movin' to California with me,

I’m almost

Two thousand miles from my home sweet home

Two thousand miles from the arms

that bore me

Two thousand miles from my sweet home

Milwaukee

Yeah yeah, talkin' 'bout Milwaukee

Oh this train screamin' touched the sky

There’s a rain cloudin' the road before me

Strange moanin' and now

What did we thought that I would be

Find myself

Two thousand miles from my home sweet home

Two thousand miles from the arms

that bore me

Two thousand miles from my sweet home

Milwaukee

But I keep singin' roll on, Milwaukee road

Roll in the rain and cold

Don’t you know this train

Born in my mama’s dream to be happy

It moves me

Singin' roll on, Milwaukee road

Got to warm up the tracks and cold

Sweet train born in my mama’s dream

to be happy.

Well let me tell you somethin'

Now you don’t know

how they bring me down

Sometimes they try to bring me down

Let me inform you

Sometimes scrappin' and scratchin' my back

Good man, well well

And I got the greatest urge

to leave this town

A dirty town of broken dreams

And broken hearts and broken lives

And twisted ghostly songs and souls

And wailin' sunsets

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

And they say now don’t you leave this town

Got to stick around now, kid

Just to see it crumble to the ground

Don’t you leave this town

You got to stick around now, kid

Just to see it crumble to the ground

Tell me, say brother,

don’t leave this town

Got to stick around

Watch it crumble now to the ground

Said don’t you leave this town

Now stick around

Watch it crumble to the ground

I wake up early, yes

I wake up early, Lord

I wake up early in the mornin'

Sweatin' and cryin' and wailin'

I wake up,

see the moon movin' along the sky

Lord, I been tryin', tryin'

To pull some good luck my way

And all I need is someone to love me

Find myself

Two thousand miles from my home sweet home

Two thousand miles from the arms

that bore me

Two thousand miles from my sweet home

Milwaukee

But I keep singin' roll on, Milwaukee road

Gonna roll in the rain and cold

Do you know this train

Was born in my mama’s dream to be happy

You’re so fine, singin' roll on,

Milwaukee road

Warm up the tracks and cold

Sweet train born in my mama’s dream

to be happy

Yeah yeah, got to get it together

Gonna be happy, boy

Get yourself together
