Arlette - Freight Train lyrics

Well I just got in from Chippewa Got a station wagon and a hundred dollars I was thinking about a girl I lost a year before Well I hadn't seen her for some time And I thought I just might go on by When your memory came flooding in and it closed the door Wish I was a freight train baby Wish I was a diesel locomotive I'd come whistling down your track Crashing through your door Wish I was a freight train baby Wish I didn't have a heart You'd need a shovel for the coal Just to get me started Wish I was a freight train baby Wish I was a freight train Well every time I talk to you And I hear your jealous lies I feel like I've been left abandoned on some old railway side And every time I hear your voice My engine just gets cold My stoker will not stoke and my boiler will not boil Wish I was a freight train baby Wish I was a diesel locomotive I'd come whistling down your track Crashing through your door Wish I was a freight train baby Wish I didn't have a heart You'd need a shovel for the coal Just to get me started Wish I was a freight train baby Wish I was a freight train Well every time I fell behind and I could not get ahead I wish someone would pull the lever and give me a little sand And every time I slipped behind even further back I wished some switch man would come out of the fog and change my track Wish I was a freight train baby Wish I was a diesel locomotive I'd come whistling down your track Crashing through your door Wish I was a freight train baby Wish I didn't have a heart You'd need a shovel for the coal Just to get me started Wish I was a freight train baby Wish I was a freight train Wish I was a freight train baby Wish I was a diesel locomotive I'd come whistling down your track Crashing through your door Wish I was a freight train baby Wish I didn't have a heart You'd need a shovel for the coal Just to get me started Wish I was a freight train baby Wish I was a freight train
