Freight Train

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus][x2] Wish it as 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
