Freight Train Lyrics

just came down from Chippewa

Had as station wagon and a hundred dollars

Thinking about the girl I'd lost a year before

I hadn't seen her for some time

Thought I might go on by when your memory came flooding
in and you closed that door.

Wish it was a freight train baby

Wish it was a diesel locomotive

I'd come whistling down your track crashing in your
door.

Wish it was a freight train baby

Wish it didn't have a heart

You need a shovel for the coal just to get me started

Wish it was a freight train baby

Wish it was a freight train baby

Wish it was a freight train.

Well every time I talk to you I hear your jealous lines

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.

Wish it was a freight train baby

Wish it was a diesel locomotive

I'd come whistling down your track crashing in your
door.

Wish it was a freight train baby

Wish it didn't have a heart

You need a shovel for the coal just to get me started Wish it was a freight train baby

Wish it was a freight train baby

Wish it was a freight train.

Well every time I fell behind 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 switch man would come out of the fog and
change my track.

Wish it was a freight train baby

Wish it was a diesel locomotive

I'd come whistling down your track crashing in your
door.

Wish it was a freight train baby

Wish it didn't have a heart

You need a shovel for the coal just to get me started

Wish it was a freight train baby

Wish it was a freight train baby

Wish it was a freight train.

Wish it was a freight train baby

Wish it was a diesel locomotive

I'd come whistling down your track crashing in your
door.

Wish it was a freight train baby

Wish it didn't have a heart

You need a shovel for the coal just to get me started

Wish it was a freight train baby

Wish it was a freight train baby

Wish it was a freight train
