Well it starts like clockwork
Every night at eleven forty two
As I lay my head down to sleep
My mind drifts back to you
It ain't no rare cat huntin' baby
In fact it happens all over the world
A million poor ol' saps are crying
'bout how they
Gave up on once in a million
Yeah, If I had half nickel for every fool
I know, who gave up on a love
Then ended up with someone
Who was nowhere to compare
And baby nowhere near half as good
I'd build a big old freight train rollin'
And holler 'Mr conductor
Get me going on the right track!'
Yeah, but the simple truth is
All the nickels dimes and dollars
Couldn't bring my baby back
And that's why I'm saying
Hey Mr Locomotive
Can you give me some support or
Get me home to my beautiful bride?
Seems that I jumped the track
A little ways back and
Temptation caught me hitchin' a ride
I done got rid of all my baggage
And I'm as free as the wind blowin' out of sight
Yeah but I'd give it all up
To see my bu*tercup
And let her know that the roamin'
Days are gonna die
Yeah my roaming days are gonna die!
Like the little train that could
I think I can
And I hope my baby hasn't given up yet
'cause I'm a comin' up around the bend
I got a head of steam and I'm rollin'
And if you listen up you
Can hear that old whistle whine
My baby, that's just me cryin'
I was a stupid kid
I hope I didn't undid our love tale
I'm home for good this time
And that's why i'm a-saying
Hey Mr Locomotive
Can you give me some support or
Get me home to my beautiful bride?
Seems that I jumped the track
A little ways back and
Temptation caught me hitchin' a ride
I done got rid of all my baggage
And I'm as free as the wind blowin' out of sight
Yeah but I'd give it all up
To see my bu*tercup
And let her know that the roamin'
Days are gonna die
Hey Mr Locomotive x 4
