A reckless heart was beatin' In that restless girl of mine And I was thinkin' that she'd be alright That train has been around And now it finally crossed her mind And the midnight run was rollin' right on time It was rollin', rollin' right on time It was a lo-locomotive Well, even if it were a bull She would have rode it To get out of here, she didn't care It was a lo-locomotive It would have been a car Could have been a plane Just so happened to be the midnight train Those mighty wheels will rumble As they pass the hobo jungle And I bet he's wishin' Now that he had stayed I never should have let her Guess I should have known her better And I would if it wasn't for that train If it wasn't, wasn't for that train For that train, for that train It was a lo-locomotive Well, even if it were a bull She would have rode it To get out of here, she didn't care It was a lo-loco motive It would have been a car Could have been a plane Just so happened to be the midnight train She never really left me She just left this one horse town She hit the track and she won't be back To stand on common ground It was a lo locomotive Well, even if it were a bull She would have rode it To get out of here, she didn't care It was a lo locomotive It would have been a car Could have been a plane Just so happened to be the midnight train
