Train I ride don't be slow 
If your whistle can blow 
Fifteen miles down the track 
Tell them I'm coming back 
Counting poles counting sheep 
Don't be slow I won't weep 
If your wheels on the line 
Were to put me on time 

Just a year to the day 
Since I went upon my way 
To seek my fortune and fame 
Be a star  change my name 
And that's it more or less 
Til this midnight express 
I know I can't be late 
Cause she said she won't wait 
She'll just go marry Jack 
So there's no turning back 
And it's 25 to midnight and fifteen miles of track 

Band I had got a break 
Just one chance we had to take 
Told my girl I'd be back 
Left her with my friend Jack 
New York City for a spell 
Things didn't turn out so well 
Every dive that we played 
We were lucky we got paid 

Mr Train driver please 
If your speed you increase 
Every cent I have now 
Will be yours this I vow 
And that's it more or less 
Til this midnight express 
I know I can't be late 
Cause she said she won't wait 
She'll just go marry Jack 
So there's no turning back 
And it's 25 to midnight and fifteen miles of track 

We called ourselves the Latino Lovers 
Hawaiian shirts and top forty covers 
I didn't think I could sink this low 
When drugs and booze ate all my dough 
This isn't how it was meant to be 
There's no such thing as a meal that's free 
If I was ever to get out alive 
I have to get home on time 

Train I ride don't be slow 
If your whistle can blow 
Fifteen miles down the track 
Tell them I'm coming back 
And that's it more or less 
Til this midnight express 
I know I can't be late 
Cause she said she won't wait 
She'll just go marry Jack 
So there's no turning back 
And it's 25 to midnight and fifteen miles of track 
And it's 25 to midnight and fifteen miles of track
