Get on the ball, boys. let' catch that train and get on. Well, run your chevy down the highway, doing 95 Got his v-8 engine buzzing like a hive Gotta catch that mail train, just to stay alive Well, he wrote his baby a letter when he was in pain Well, he told his little baby "don't wanna see you again" Well, he's gotta drop that letter, gotta catch that train
Gotta beat it to the crossing before he gets to town Got to keep that whistle humming, keep it to the ground Gotta catch that mail train, gotta flag it down Roll on, boy Well, he's squealing around the bend, tracks are getting near Well, the roaring of the engine, pa**ing in his ear Well, he ain't gonna make it...
