Train I ride don't be slow
|
If your whistle can blow
|
Fifteen miles down the track
|
Tell them I'm coming back
|
Counting poles counting sheep
|
Don't be slow I won't weep
|
If your wheels on the line
|
Were to put me on time
|
|
Just a year to the day
|
Since I went upon my way
|
To seek my fortune and fame
|
Be a star, change my name
|
And that's it more or less
|
Til this midnight express
|
I know I can't be late
|
Cause she said she won't wait
|
She'll just go marry Jack
|
So there's no turning back
|
And it's 25 to midnight and fifteen miles of track
|
|
Band I had got a break
|
Just one chance we had to take
|
Told my girl I'd be back
|
Left her with my friend Jack
|
New York City for a spell
|
Things didn't turn out so well
|
Every dive that we played
|
We were lucky we got paid
|
|
Mr Train driver please
|
If your speed you increase
|
Every cent I have now
|
Will be yours this I vow
|
And that's it more or less
|
Til this midnight express
|
I know I can't be late
|
Cause she said she won't wait
|
She'll just go marry Jack
|
So there's no turning back
|
And it's 25 to midnight and fifteen miles of track
|
|
We called ourselves the Latino Lovers
|
Hawaiian shirts and top forty covers
|
I didn't think I could sink this low
|
When drugs and booze ate all my dough
|
This isn't how it was meant to be
|
There's no such thing as a meal that's free
|
If I was ever to get out alive
|
I have to get home on time
|
|
Train I ride don't be slow
|
If your whistle can blow
|
Fifteen miles down the track
|
Tell them I'm coming back
|
And that's it more or less
|
Til this midnight express
|
I know I can't be late
|
Cause she said she won't wait
|
She'll just go marry Jack
|
So there's no turning back
|
And it's 25 to midnight and fifteen miles of track
|
And it's 25 to midnight and fifteen miles of track
