Lyrics

i just came down from chippewa, had as station wagon and a hundred dollars, thinking about the girl i'd lost a year before, i hadn't seen her for some time, thought i might go on by when your memory came flooding in and you closed that door, wish i was a freight train baby, wish i was a diesel locomotive, i'd come whistling down your track crashing in your door, wish i was a freight train baby, wish i didn't have a heart, you need a shovel for the coal just to get me started, wish i was a freight train baby, wish i was a freight train baby, wish i was a freight train, well every time i talk to you i hear your jealous lines, i feel like i've been left abandoned on some old railway side, and every time i hear your voice my water 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 in your door, wish i was a freight train baby, wish i didn't have a heart, you need a shovel for the coal just to get me started, wish i was a freight train baby, wish i was a freight train baby, wish i was a freight train, well every time i fell behind i could not get ahead, i wish someone would pull the lever and give me a little sand, and every time i slip behind even further back, i wish 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 in your door, wish i was a freight train baby, wish i didn't have a heart, you need a shovel for the coal just to get me started, wish i was a freight train baby, 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 in your door, wish i was a freight train baby, wish i didn't have a heart, you need a shovel for the coal just to get me started, wish i was a freight train baby, wish i was a freight train baby, wish i was a freight train
