Lightning Express
演唱：Norah Jones、Billie Joe ArmstrongThe lightning express
from the depot so grand
Had started out on it's way
All of the passengers
that were on board
Seemed to be happy and gay
But one little boy
who sat by himself
Was reading a letter he had
You could plainly tell
by the look on his face
That the contents of it made him sad
The stern old conductor
then started his round
Taking tickets from everyone there
And finally reaching
the side of the boy
He gruffly demanded his fare
I have no ticket
the boy then replied
But I'll pay you back someday
Then I'll put you off
at the next stop we make
But he stopped
when he heard the boy say
Please Mr. Conductor
Don't put me off of this train
The best friend I have
in this world sir
Is waiting for me in pain
Expecting to die any moment sir
And may not live through the day
I wanna reach home
and kiss mother goodbye
Before God takes her away
A girl sitting near
was heard to exclaim
If you put him off
it's a shame
Taking his hand
a collection she made
The boy's way
was paid on the train
I'm obliged to you
miss for your kindness to me
You're welcome
she said, never fear
Each time the conductor would
pass through the car
The boy's words would
ring in his ear
Please Mr. Conductor
Don't put me off of this train
The best friend I have
in this world sir
Is waiting for me in pain
Expecting to die any moment sir
And may not live through the day
I wanna reach home and
kiss mother goodbye
Before God takes her away
I wanna reach home and
kiss mother goodbye
Before God takes her away
