Well it starts like clockwork every night at 11 42
As I lay my head down to sleep my mind turns back to you
It aint no rare cat huntin baby
In fact it happens all over the world
A million poor ol' saps are crying
How they gave up on once in a million
If i had half nickel for every fool i met who gave up on a love
Then ended up with someone knowing they wouldn't compare knowing ther're half as good
I'd build a big old freight train rollin
And holla Mr conductor get me going on the right track
Oh but the simple truth is all the nickels dimes and dollars could'nt bring my baby back
And that's why I'm saying .
Hey Mr Locomotive can you give me some support
Get me home to my beautiful bride
Seems i jumped the track a little way back and tension caught me hitchin a ride
I done got rid of all my baggage and Im as free as the wind rollin out of sight
Yeah but i'd give it all up to see my buttercup and let her know my roamin days have come and died
Yeah my roaming days have come and gone
♪
Like the litte train that could i think that i can
And i hope my baby hasn't given up yet 'cause i'm a comin on around the bend
I got a head of steam and I'm rollin
And if you listen up you can hear the old whistle wind
Oh baby thats just me cryin
I was a stupid kid i hope I didn't undid my love dear
I'm home for good this time
And thats why i'm a-saying ...
