Fast Train

Rolling down the track to see my babe She always is waiting up for me It's been too doggone long since I've seen her face Brakeman won't you please blow off some steam Rising up at dawn working hard for my pay She's the only place my money goes But I'm at it all alone in the freezing rain Gotta steal away to where the weather suits my clothes [Chorus] I need a fast train, I need a fast train, to roll me home Something in the way that she calls my name Lifts me up and sends me riding high Never for a minute did I forsake my gal I missed her water long before my well ran dry [Chorus] I need a fast train, I need a fast train, to roll me home I need a fast train, I need a fast train, it's all I've known When that lonesome whistle blows Won't find me around here no more My baby's arms is all I know Going back to the place I've been before
