freight train
alan jackson
i 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 i was a freight train baby
wish i was a diesel locomotive
i'd come whistling down your track crashing in your door
wish i was a freight train baby
wish i didn't have a heart
you need a shovel for the coal just to get me started
wish i was a freight train baby
wish i was a freight train baby
wish i 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 i was a freight train baby
wish i was a diesel locomotive
i'd come whistling down your track crashing in your door
wish i was a freight train baby
wish i didn't have a heart
you need a shovel for the coal just to get me started
wish i was a freight train baby
wish i was a freight train baby
wish i 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 i was a freight train baby
wish i was a diesel locomotive
i'd come whistling down your track crashing in your door
wish i was a freight train baby
wish i didn't have a heart
you need a shovel for the coal just to get me started
wish i was a freight train baby
wish i was a freight train baby
wish i was a freight train
wish i was a freight train baby
wish i was a diesel locomotive
i'd come whistling down your track crashing in your door
wish i was a freight train baby
wish i didn't have a heart
you need a shovel for the coal just to get me started
wish i was a freight train baby
wish i was a freight train baby
wish i was a freight train
