Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer
If there were seventeen cars out in my back yard The boys in blue were callin' my name Semi-automatics up on the rooftop They just wanted to talk to me I'd tell 'em what they wanted to hear The only thing that I knew Forty-nine tons of diesel locomotive Couldn't drag me back to you Everywhere you go there's a train wreck baby Everywhere you go there's a runaway train Play my heart like a bottleneck baby Sliding up and down and and pulling my strings Everywhere you go everybody knows You're looking for someone to do Forty-nine tons of diesel locomotive Couldn't drag me back to you If I was a brakeman I was a switch man If I was an engineer I'd take that train on down that line And clear on out of here If I was the man swinging the lantern I'd swing it 'til I was blue Forty-nine tons of diesel locomotive Couldn't drag me back to you Forty-nine tons of diesel locomotive Couldn't drag me back to you
