What I feel is like an old freight train 
Five miles long in the pouring rain 
Rolling out of Detroit loaded up with shiny cars 
And I'm sitting in a Cadillac smoking on a big cigar 
What I feel's like an engine room 
Open MY DOOR GET A WHIFF OF perfume 
LOOK AT that diesel burning up the atmosphere 
When you hear me blow honey BABE know I'm NEAR 

[CHORUS:]] 
Well I'm going down to Lincoln town 
Turn your pretty little head around 
Take the next train outward bound 
Carry you out of Lincoln town 

I'M GETTIN' ON my home is with you 
There ain't no town or city will do 
I need a rolling partner TO CARRY me down the line 
and I'm a-comin' into Lincoln town baby right on time 
Well love is like an automobile 
or maybe a freight train DEPENDS on how you feel 
Big wheels rolling BABY TIL that engine WHINES 
ON rubber or steel honey baby I don't mind 

[CHORUS:]
 
When you see that old black smoke 
You know it's time to pack you a POKE 
Meet me at the station about a quarter to nine 
You can ride in my Cadillac OR honey you can RACK the blinds 

[CHORUS: x2]

Well I'm going down to Lincoln town 
Turn your pretty little head around 
Take the next train SOUTHWARD bound 
Carry you out of Lincoln town
