Freight Train - Alan Jackson

I just came down from Chippewa

Had a station wagon and a hundred dollars

Thinking about the girl I'd lost a year before

I hadn't seen her for some time

Thought I might go on by

When your memory came flooding 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 didn't 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 didn't 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 the 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 didn't 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
