Lightnin’ Train

Wild thoughts on this lightnin’ train
Maybe it’s passion
Maybe it’s pain
I know you’ve been on the wrong train
I don’t care
Just want my baby back

Sure don’t seem like you been thinkin’
You don’t know how low you been sinkin’
Pity on your face
Such a disgrace

Ya gotta be, gotta be runnin’
Ya gotta be, gotta be runnin’
Ya gotta be, gotta be runnin’
And she ain’t on your side

Like it or not, I’m in your blood
Hmm, baby you’re dammin’ up the flood
Leavin’ me here on this midnight ride
Pitiful you
Ya gotta run and hide

Sure don’t seem like you been thinkin’
You don’t know how low you been sinkin’
Pity on your face
Such a disgrace

Ya gotta be, gotta be runnin’
Ya gotta be, gotta be runnin’
Ya gotta be, gotta be runnin’
And she ain’t on your side
She ain’t on your side

She’s a cold sister
In a silent rage
A sultry temptress in a gilded cage
Ain’t no love here
Ain’t no way
She’s your mistress
But you’re her prey

Ya gotta be, gotta be runnin’
Ya gotta be, gotta be runnin’
Ya gotta be, gotta be runnin’
She ain’t on your side

Oo oo yeah
Hmm hmm ohhh

I, I know, I, I know, I-i know yeah, I know
You’re trippin’ on the tracks
You’re a lightnin’ train
You’re slippin’ on those tracks
You’re a lightinin’ train
You’re runnin’
Mm, yeah, you’re runnin’, you’re runnin’
Yeah, yeah, you’re runnin’
Baby, you’re runnin’
On the lightnin’ train
Oo, trip
Slip
Oh yeah
On the tracks
Trippin’ on the tracks, whoa yeah
Runnin’ scared now
Yeah, you’re runnin’, slippin’... x

INDIE SPIRIT
As a multi-instrumentalist Wendy studied piano, guitar, french horn, trumpet, trombone and flugelhorn. Her primary musical influence was her father who played trumpet and sang. His influences became hers: Louis Armstrong, King Oliver, Bix Beiderbecke, Cannonball Adderley, Bing Crosby, Dean Martin, Ella Fitzgerald, and Billie Holiday. Wendy was also influenced by the popular artists of the 1960's including Bob Dylan, Aretha Franklin, Richie Havens, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, The Moody Blues, Quick Silver Messenger Service and Joni Mitchell. As a result Wendy's music grooves with an undercurrent of improvisation flavored with bits of New Orleans Jazz, Folk, Psychedelic Rock, Soul and Gospel.
