I've been workin' so hard, baby,
|
tryin' to get to you.
|
I'm gonna be there soon because
|
|
In the heat of the day many miles away
|
when the sun is beating down upon the main street
|
I'll be waiting here at the station,
|
I gotta move down the line.
|
They'll be dancin' and singin' and doin' their thing
|
and they'll be rockin' and rollin' until the day is done.
|
You know I got to make the deadline.
|
|
I gotta get that southbound train tonight, ooh.
|
If I don't get to the border then I'll write.
|
|
The Mardi Gras will be blowing strong
|
and the people dancing all across the city.
|
I'm leaving here tonight,
|
I gotta move down the line.
|
I'm gonna catch a ride on the nine-o-five,
|
I'm gonna ride the rail until we reach the morning,
|
maybe three or four hundred miles.
|
|
I gotta get that southbound train tonight, ooh.
|
If I don't get to the border then I'll write.
|
|
When the wind is blowing softly
|
through the streets of a little town and the music's playin
|
you're waiting somewhere over the horizon.
|
|
I gotta get that southbound train tonight, ooh.
|
If I don't get to the border then I'll write.
