Lyrics Alan Jackson – Freight Train
Text:
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
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
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
