|
Well I just came down from Chippewa |
|
I had a station wagon and a hundred dollars |
|
I was thinkin' about the girl I'd lost a year before |
|
I hadn't seen her for some time |
|
I thought that I might go on by |
|
When your memory came floodin' in |
|
And you closed that door |
|
(CHORUS:) |
|
Wish I was a freight train baby |
|
Wish I was a diesel locomotive |
|
I'd come whistlin' down your track |
|
Crashin' in your door |
|
Wish I was a freight train baby |
|
Wish I didn't have a heart |
|
And you'd need a shovel for the coal |
|
Just to get me started |
|
Wish I was a freight train baby |
|
Wish I was a freight train |
|
Well every time I talk to you |
|
And I hear your jealous lies |
|
I feel like I've been left abandoned |
|
On some old railway side |
|
And every time I hear your voice |
|
My water just gets cold |
|
My stoker will not stoke |
|
And my boiler will not boil |
|
(CHORUS) |
|
Well every time I fell behind |
|
And I could not get ahead |
|
I wish someone would pull the lever |
|
And give me a little sand |
|
And every time I slip behind |
|
Even further back |
|
I wish some switchman would come out of the fog |
|
And change my track |
|
Wish I was a freight train baby |
|
Wish I was a diesel locomotive |
|
I'd come whistlin' down your track |
|
Crashin' in your door |
|
Wish I was a freight train baby |
|
Wish I didn't have a heart |
|
And you'd need a shovel for the coal |
|
Just to get me started |
|
Wish I was a freight train baby |
|
Wish I was a freight train . . . |
