Well, I just came down the Chippewa
|
Had a station wagon and a hundred dollars
|
I was thinking 'bout the girl I'd lost a year before
|
I hadn't seen her for some time
|
Thought that I might go on by
|
When your memory came flooding in and you closed that door
|
Wish I was a freight train, baby
|
Wish I was a diesel locomotive
|
I'd come whistling down your track
|
And crashing in your door
|
Wish I was a freight train, baby
|
Wish I didn't have a heart
|
And you'd need a shovel full of coal
|
Just to get me started
|
Wish I was a freight train, baby
|
Wish I was a freight train
|
Every time I talk to you
|
And I hear your jealous lies
|
I feel like I've been left abandoned
|
On some old railway siding
|
And every time I hear your voice
|
My water just keeps cold
|
My stoker will not stoke
|
And my boiler will not boil
|
Wish I was a freight train, baby
|
Wish I was a diesel locomotive
|
I'd come whistling down your track
|
And crashing in your door
|
Wish I was a freight train, baby
|
Wish I didn't have a heart
|
And you'd need a shovel full of coal
|
Just to get me started
|
Wish I was a freight train, baby
|
Wish I was a freight train
|
Every time I fell behind and I could not get ahead
|
I wish someone would pull a lever
|
And give me a little sand
|
And every time I slip behind, hey, even further back
|
I wish some switch man 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 whistling down your track
|
And crashing in your door
|
Wish I was a freight train, baby
|
Wish I didn't have a heart
|
And you'd need a shovel full of coal
|
Just to get me started
|
Wish I was a freight train, baby
|
Wish I was a freight train
|
