Locomotive

(album: The Boys Are Back - 1989)

A wreckless heart was beating in that restless girl of
Mine and I was thinking that she'd be all right,
That train has been around and now it finally crossed her
Mind and the midnight run was rolling right on time
It was rolling, rolling right on time.

It was a lo-loco motive,
Even if it were a bull she would have rode it
To get out of here she didn't care.
It was a lo-loco motive,
It would have been a car, could have been a plane,
Just so happened to be the midnight train

Those mighty wheels will rumble as they pass the hobo
Jungle and I bet he's wishing now that he had stayed,
I never should have let her, guess i should have known her
Better and I would if it wasn't for that train.
If it wasn't, wasn't for that train.

It was a lo-loco motive,
Even if it were a bull she would have rode it.
To get out of here she didn't care.
It was a lo-loco motive,
It would have been a car, could have been a plane,
Just so happened to be the midnight train.

She never really left me, she just left that one horse town
She hit the track and she won't be back to stand on common ground

It was a lo-loco motive
Even if it were a bull she would have rode it.
It was a lo-loco motive,
It would have been a car, could have been a plane,
Just so happened to be the midnight train.
