Train roll on, on down the line
Won't you please take me far, far away
Now I feel the wind blow, outside my door
I'm leavin' my woman at home, oh yeah
Tuesday's gone with the wind
Oh my baby's gone, gone with the wind
And I don't know, oh, where I'm goin'
I just want to be left alone
When this train ends, I'll try again
I'm leavin' my woman at home

Tuesday's gone with the wind
Tuesday's gone with the wind
Tuesday's gone with the wind
My baby's gone, with the wind
Train roll on, Tuesday's gone

Train roll on many miles from my home, see I'm
I'm ridin' my blues, away yeah
But Tuesday you see, a she had to be free
Somehow I got to, to carry on

Tuesday's gone with the wind
Tuesday's gone with the wind
Tuesday's gone with the wind
My baby's gone, with the wind

Train roll on
My baby's gone
I'm ridin' my blues, baby
Tryin' to ridin' my blues
Ride on train
Ride on train
Ridin' my blues, baby
Goodbye Tuesday, goodbye Tuesday
Oh, oh, oh, train

    This is by far the greatest southern rock song mostly due to the greatest intro and rift ever. Now i know alot of people are gonna get mad at me for this but i think metallica just doesn't do it justice. it was a good attempt but metal bands just shouldn't cover southern rock songs. This goes for their cover of Turn the page too. a song like this requires a guy with a southern drawl to do it justice.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
