I Won't Give Up My Train

(앨범: My Love Affair With Trains - 1976)

I pulled into Memphis thirteen minutes early first time in two weeks
That's where she came to meet me
As I stepped down off four-fifty-one, I needed sleep
The baby's over due I know, she need's some things
But the more that we discuss it, it's the same

Long train rolling, got a feeling and I'm knowing
She's not waiting for me
These rails keep getting longer, this feelin's getting stronger
It won't let me be
I love my woman fire and rain
But I won't give up my train

The baby came in April while I was in Chicago in the pouring rain
With twelve flat cars, six rusted tankers
three box cars and an empty sack of mail
And though I'll be lonely, some nights I know
There's just no other way to explain

Long train rolling, got a feeling and I'm knowing
She's not waiting for me
These rails keep getting longer, this feelin's getting stronger
It won't let me be
I love my woman fire and rain
But I won't give up my train

Long train rolling, got a feeling and I'm knowing
She's not waiting for me
These rails keep getting longer, this feelin's getting stronger
It won't let me be
I love my woman fire and rain
But I won't give up my train
I love my woman fire and rain
But I won't give up my train
