[Verse 1]
Hey, did you hear about the one that got away?
They say he looked left
She turned right-meant to be together, but not that night
When fate's running late, we tend to make mistakes
We go round and round from love to love
It's either way too much or not enough
Gimme lazy days with nothing better to do
Than singing oh black water keep on rolling while I wait for you

[Chorus]
I don't care if it rains, I'll be just fine
I'm leaving the ghosts behind until I got you I got you
You're the sun through my window, warming my skin
Oh you I got you

[Verse 2]
Hey then when one of them was taken, the other one was waiting
For the next big thing
To bring them to the gates of heaven or maybe just late night in Vegas
It's true that's what we do when were going down swinging
Then coming up singing the blues
Wearing out my shoes-chasing new faces to get to you-
Driving home on a summer night
Singing old black water keep on rolling- till the time is right

[Chorus]
I don't care if it rains, I'll be just fine, sit back enjoy the ride
Until I got you I got you you're the sun through my window
Warming my skin, oh you I got you Like Sonny and Cher
Except I'll be there for you, I got you

[Verse 3]
Let old black water bring us together
Old black water keep on rolling
Mississippi moon won't you keep on shining on me
Old black water keep on rolling
Mississippi moon won't you keep on shining on me
Want to hear some funky Dixieland
Pretty Mama come on take me by the hand
Want to hear some funky Dixieland
Pretty Mama
Here she comes, I got you I got you

[Chorus]
You're the sun through my window warming my skin oh you
I got you like Sonny and Cher you know I'll be there for you
I got you let old black water bring us together
You, I got you, I got you, I got you baby

[Outro]
By the hand hand take me by the hand
Pretty mama dance with your daddy all night long wanna hear some
Funky Dixieland pretty mama come and take me by the hand
Take me by the hand
Pretty mama
Want to hear some funky Dixieland
Pretty Mama come on take me by the hand
Hip, hip, take me by the hip
Pretty mama
Dance with your daddy all night long
Want to hear some funky Dixieland
Pretty Mama come on take me by the hand

Train

Train is an American rock band from San Francisco, formed in 1993. The band currently consists of Patrick Monahan (lead vocals), Luis Maldonado (guitar), Hector Maldonado (bass, vocals), Drew Shoals (drums), Jerry Becker (keyboards, guitar), Sakai Smith (backup vocals), and Nikita Houston (backup vocals).

With a lineup that included original members Monahan, Rob Hotchkiss, Jimmy Stafford, Scott Underwood, and Charlie Colin, the band achieved mainstream success with their debut album Train, which was released in 1998 with the hit “Meet Virginia”. Train’s 2001 album, Drops of Jupiter contained the lead single “Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me)”, which won two Grammy Awards in 2002. The album was certified double platinum in the United States and Canada and remains the band’s best-selling album to date.

Train’s third studio album, My Private Nation, released in 2003, was certified platinum in the United States with the hit “Calling All Angels”. Following the departures of Hotchkiss and Colin, the band released their fourth album, For Me, It’s You in 2006, with Brandon Bush (keyboards) and Johnny Colt (bass). Despite a generally positive reception from critics, the album was commercially unsuccessful. Because of this, Train went on a two-year hiatus from recording any new music.
