It's 3 am in the morning that train whistle is blowing It sounds like some lonesome song got in my soul My baby flipped the blanket, she won't be back no more She makes a whistle stop then she's gone again Sometimes it's hard, hard on a poor boy's brain Poor boys brain, I'm telling you, boys My baby thinks she's a train Lawd, lawd, lawdy, the way she moves Drags me round like an old caboose I'm telling you boys thats girl's insane My baby thinks she's a train
Choo, choo, ain't just some train sound It's the noise that you hear when my baby hits town With her long hair flying, man, she's hard to tame What you supposed to do when your baby thinks she's a train She eats money like a train eats coal She burns it up and leaves you in the smoke If you wanna catch her ride, you wait till she unwinds She's just like a train, she always gives some bum a ride My baby thinks she's a train
