I pulled into Memphis fifteen minutes early first time in two weeks
|
That's where she came to meet me
|
As I stepped down off four-fifty-one, I needed sleep
|
The baby's over due I know, she need's some things
|
But the more that we discuss it, it's the same
|
|
Long train rollin', got a feelin' and I'm kmowin'
|
She's not waitin' for me
|
These rails keep gettin' longer, this feelin's gettin' stronger
|
It won't let me be
|
I love my woman fire and rain
|
But I won't give up my train
|
|
The baby came in April while I was in Chicago in the pourin' rain
|
With twelve flat cars, six rusted tanker
|
three box cars and an empty sack of mail
|
And though I'll be lonely, some nights I know
|
There's just no other way to explain
|
|
Long train rollin', got a feelin' and I'm kmowin'
|
She's not waitin' for me
|
These rails keep gettin' longer, this feelin's gettin' stronger
|
It won't let me be
|
I love my woman fire and rain
|
But I won't give up my train
|
