Just Like This Train

I'm always running behind the time
Just like this train, shaking into town with the brakes complainin'

I used to count lovers like railroad cars
I counted them on my side
Lately, I don't count on nothing, I just let things slide

The station master's shuffling cards
Boxcars are banging in the yards
Jealous lovin'll make you crazy if you can't find your goodness
'Cause, you lost your heart
'Cause you lost your heart

I went looking for a cause
Or a strong cat without claws
Or any reason to resume
And I found this empty seat in this crowded waiting room
I found everybody waiting

There's an old man sleeping on his bags
Women with that teased up kind of hair
Kids with the jitters in their legs
And those wide, wide open stares
And the kids got cokes and chocolate bars
There's a thin man smoking a fat cigar
Jealous lovin'll make you crazy if you can't find your goodness
'Cause, you've lost your heart
'Cause, you've lost your heart

Well, I've got this berth and this roll down blind
I've got this fold up sink, and these rocks
And these cactuses going by, ah
And a bottle of German wine to drink
I'm gonna settle down into the clickety clack with the clouds and the stars to read
Dreaming of the pleasure I'm gonna have
Watching your hairline recede my vain, darling

Watching your hair and clouds and stars
I'm rocking away in a sleeping car
Oh, jealous lovin's gonna make me crazy
I can't find my goodness
I lost my heart
Oh, sour grapes, because I lost my heart
