When My Train Pulls In Lyrics

Everyday nothing seems to change.
Everywhere I go I keep seeing the same old thing & I.
I can't take it no more.
Oh, I would this town but I ain't got no where else to go.
Wake up in the morning, oh, more bad news.
& I. Sometimes I feel like I was borne to lose & I.
It's driving me out of my mind.
I'll catch the next train & I. I'll move on down the line.

Whoah I'll be ready now.
I'll be ready when my train pulls in.
Whoah I'll be ready now.
I'll be ready when my train pulls in.
I know my time ain't long around here.
& I can't live this life again.

Walking down the streets you might run across a smilng face.
But they'll stab you in the back as soon as you turn & walk away
& I. Oh Lord it's bringing me down.

If things don't change around here, ain't no use in me hanging 'round.


Whoah I'll be ready now.
I'll be ready when my train pulls in.
Whoah I'll be ready now.
I'll be ready when my train pulls in.
I know my time ain't long around here.
& I can't live this life again.

Gary Clark Jr. (born February 15, 1984) is an American guitarist and actor based in Austin, Texas. Described as being the future of Texas blues, Clark's resume has included sharing the stage with various legends of rock and roll. He has stated that he is "influenced by blues, jazz, soul [and] country, as well as hip hop". Clark's musical trademarks are his extremely fuzzy guitar sound and smooth vocal style.


GARY CLARK JR.began playing guitar in 1996 at the ripe young age of 12. Born and raised in Austin, TX, Gary continued to play small gigs throughout his early teens, until he popped on the radar of legendary promoter Clifford Antone, owner of the Austin blues club Antone's. Through Clifford's connections, Gary soon began sitting in and learning from an array of musical icons, including the incomparable Jimmie Vaughan.

Jimmie and others in the Austin music community mentored Gary along his path, facilitating his steady rise, and continued ascent in the Texas music scene. Gary's musical peers, as well as the Austin music community at-large, have showered him with critical acclaim for his galvanized live performances, and fervid expression. At one unexpected point of political recognition, mayor of Austin Kirk Watson proclaimed May 3, 2001 Gary Clark Jr Day. Gary was 18 years old at the time.

Gary went on to win the Austin Music Award for Best Blues and Electric Guitarist on three separate occasions, in addition to receiving awards from various Blues magazines and associations around the country. After playing the nationally televised show Austin City Limits and touring with the likes of artists such as Jimmie Vaughan, Pinetop Perkins, and Doyle Bramhall II, he continued his recording pursuits by releasing three self-produced albums, and creating the original score for the major motion picture Full Count. His creative versatility allowed him to transcend his own musical talents, while also starring as a principal character in John Sayle’s film Honeydripper, alongside actors Danny Glover and Stacy Keach.

Originally known as a blues musician and even compared to such greats as Stevie Ray Vaughan, Albert Collins and Albert King, Gary is stepping out...way out. His upcoming CD will really test his blues fans. Will they appreciate Gary's guitar chops and his soulful voice as he explores other genres? Gary hopes so and he hopes they will continue with him on his journey. And with this new sound, we're thinking Gary will pick up some new fans along the way.

HIs first major label LP "Blak and Blu" was released on October 22, 2012 Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
