KASEY CHAMBERS lyrics : "Freight Train"

Well I just came down from Chippewa
I had a station wagon and a hundred dollars
I was thinkin' about the girl I'd lost a year before

I hadn't seen her for some time
I thought that I might go on by
When your memory came floodin' in

And you closed that door

CHORUS:


Wish I was a freight train baby
Wish I was a diesel locomotive

I'd come whistlin' down your track
Crashin' in your door
Wish I was a freight train baby

Wish I didn't have a heart
And you'd need a shovel for the coal
Just to get me started

Wish I was a freight train baby
Wish I was a freight train


Well every time I talk to you
And I hear your jealous lies
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


CHORUS

Well every time I fell behind

And 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 switchman 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 whistlin' down your track
Crashin' in your door

Wish I was a freight train baby
Wish I didn't have a heart
And you'd need a shovel for the coal

Just to get me started
Wish I was a freight train baby
Wish I was a freight train . . .
