Just Like This Train (2022 Remaster)
I am always running behind the time, just like this train
Shaking into town with the brakes complaining
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' will make you crazy
If you can't find your goodness
'Cause you've 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 (everybody waiting)
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' will make you crazy
If you can't find your goodness
'Cause you've lost your heart
What are you going to do now?
You've got no one to give your love to
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
And a bottle of German wine to drink
Settle down into the clickety-clack
With the clouds and the stars to read
Dreaming of the pleasure I'm gonna have
Watchin' your hairline recede, my vain darling
Watching your hair and clouds and stars
I'm rocking away in a sleeping car
This jealous lovin' is bound to make me crazy
I can't find my goodness, I lost my heart
Oh, sour grapes because I lost my heart
Shaking into town with the brakes complaining
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' will make you crazy
If you can't find your goodness
'Cause you've 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 (everybody waiting)
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' will make you crazy
If you can't find your goodness
'Cause you've lost your heart
What are you going to do now?
You've got no one to give your love to
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
And a bottle of German wine to drink
Settle down into the clickety-clack
With the clouds and the stars to read
Dreaming of the pleasure I'm gonna have
Watchin' your hairline recede, my vain darling
Watching your hair and clouds and stars
I'm rocking away in a sleeping car
This jealous lovin' is bound to make me crazy
I can't find my goodness, I lost my heart
Oh, sour grapes because I lost my heart
