Freight Train Lyrics - Alan Jackson

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 it was a freight train baby 

Wish it was a diesel locomotive 

I'd come whistling down your track crashing in your door. 

Wish it was a freight train baby 

Wish it didn't have a heart 

You need a shovel for the coal just to get me started 

Wish it was a freight train baby 

Wish it was a freight train baby 

Wish it 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 it was a freight train baby 

Wish it was a diesel locomotive 

I'd come whistling down your track crashing in your door. 

Wish it was a freight train baby 

Wish it didn't have a heart 

You need a shovel for the coal just to get me started 

Wish it was a freight train baby 

Wish it was a freight train baby 

Wish it 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.
