Lyrics
Rumble Seat
©Nikole Potulsky
Got the Rumble Seat rolled back
Hear the cold wind moan
I can see the train station
I can hear the whistle blow
VERSE 1
Outside of town we’ve got us a Marie Laveau
You can get your palm read. You can have your fortune told.
Me and the girls, we just gotta know
What’s coming next year, what's coming tomorrow
CHORUS
Got the Rumble Seat rolled back
Hear the cold wind moan
I can see the train station
I can hear the whistle blow
VERSE 2
Marie’s house wasn’t no hollow log
She didn’t have no one eyed cats, no three legged dogs
Outside was a pretty child playing in the yard
Said go on in, let my mama read your cards
CHORUS
Got the Rumble Seat rolled back
Hear the cold wind moan
I can see the train station
I can hear the whistle blow
VERSE 3
MaryJane, your future’s looking bleak
Your man is gonna leave you by the end of the week
Isabel, let me tell you girl, a change is coming real soon
that’s gonna rock your world
Then she looked at me leaned in, too close
Said come back tomorrow, come back alone
CHORUS
Got the Rumble Seat rolled back
Hear the cold wind moan
I can see the train station
I can hear the whistle blow
VERSE 4
By the time I saw the train, it was far too late
Those girls were in the air flying toward their fates
I started running from the dead on the railroad track
Got to Marie's house. she said I knew that you’d be back
CHORUS
Got the Rumble Seat rolled back
Hear the cold wind moan
I can see the train station
I can hear the whistle blow
