I Won't Give Up My Train Lyrics - Merle Haggard

I pulled into Memphis thirteen minutes early first time in two weeks 

There's where she came to meet me as I stepped down off of 51 and needed sleep 

And the baby's overdue I know you need 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 and this feeling's getting stronger she won't let me be 

I love my woman fire and rain but I won't give up my train 

Baby came in April while I was in Chicago in the pouring rain 

Black car and rusty tanker three boxcars and an empty sack of mail 

And though I get lonely sometimes I know there's just no other way to explain 

Long train rolling 

Long train rolling
