Alan Jackson - Freight Train

Freight Train

I just came down from Chippewa
Had a station wagon and a 100 dollars
Thinkin' about the girl I had lost a year before

I hadn't seen her for some time
Thought I might go on by
When your memory came floodin' in
And you closed that door

Wish I was a freight train, baby
Wish I was a diesel locomotive
I'd come whistling down your track
Crashing in your door

Wish I was a freight train, baby
Wish I didnt have a heart
You need a shovel for the coal
Just to get me started

Wish I was a freight train, baby
Wish I was a freight train, baby
Wish I 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 I was a freight train, baby
Wish I was a diesel locomotive
I'd come whistling down your track
Crashing in your door

Wish I was a freight train, baby
Wish I didnt have a heart
You need a shovel for the coal
Just to get me started

Wish I was a freight train, baby
Wish I was a freight train, baby
Wish I 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 fog
And change my track

Wish I was a freight train, baby
Wish I was a diesel locomotive
I'd come whistling down your track
Crashing in your door

Wish I was a freight train, baby
Wish I didnt have a heart
You need a shovel for the coal
Just to get me started

Wish I was a freight train, baby
Wish I was a freight train, baby
Wish I was a freight train
Woo!

Wish I was a freight train, baby
Wish I was a diesel locomotive
I'd come whistling down your track
Crashing in your door

Wish I was a freight train, baby
Wish I didnt have a heart
You need a shovel for the coal
Just to get me started

Wish I was a freight train, baby
Wish I was a freight train, baby
Wish I was a freight train
