Mystery Train
Jon Bon Jovi · Crush
Nights when she's a scream
A reason to wake up in the morning
To close your eyes and dream
She'll curse you like a sailor
She'll wound you with her eyes
SheÂ’ll always make it better
But won't apologize
You know everything about her but don't know her at all
Chorus:
She's a ride on a mystery train
To a place you've never been before
Better hold on tight to that mystery train
You're not in Kansas anymore
She's a ride
Mystery train
She cries because she's happy
She sings songs when she's mad
Like a stiff drink when you need it
She's good at being bad
And long before you knew her you knew she was the one
Chorus:
She's a ride on a mystery train
To a place you've never been before
Better hold on tight to that mystery train
You're not in Kansas anymore
She's a ride
Mystery train
Solo
I know everything about her but don't know her at all
Chorus:
She's a ride on a mystery train
To a place I've never been before
I waited all night out for that mystery train
I'm not in Kansas anymore
She's a ride
On a mystery train
She's a ride
On a mystery train
