Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
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
