Lyrics:
an old rag
It ain't nine to five
Down and dirty he's an old tramp
He poses like a dead man
The night train passes by Money's not the answer for princes
I went down to the railroad yard, Watch the train come by
Knew that train would roll that day But I did not know what time.
I did not know what
good
I can remember, sometimes, I could just stand off all by myself
And just get funky listenin' to the train
And I used to pick up a handful
Old toy trains, little toy tracks
Little boy toys, comin' from a sack
Carried by a man dressed in white and red
Little boy don't you think it?s
I was born in Dixie in a boomer's shack
Just a little old shanty by a railroad track
The hummin' of the drivers was my lullaby
And a freight train
gone, oh no, oh no, my baby's gone,
Oh no oh no, she's a ghost town train,
A tear drop in the rain, oh no,
She's two tail lights disappearing in
Trains and bloats and planes are passing by
They mean a trip to Paris or Rome
For someone else but not for me
The trains and the boats and planes
some ice cream
And my Mom was there to meet us when the train pulled into Kopperl
But now kids at night break window lights
And the sound of trains only
Trains and bloats and planes are passing by
They mean a trip to Paris or Rome
For someone else but not for me
The trains and the boats and planes
this town 'cause you don't treat 'em right.
Oh, take a train (take a train), fly by plane (fly by plane),
Yeah, gettin' tired (gettin' tired), sick
two lights on behind
Oh, the train left the station
With two lights on behind
And the blue light was my baby and
The red light was my mind
All my love's
off
All aboard the night train
Like a smooth alligator
All aboard the night train
Such a cool calculator
All aboard the night train
Like a smooth
Hear that lonesome whippoorwill
He sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is whining low
I'm so lonesome, I could cry
I've never seen
When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No, I won't be afraid
Oh, I won't be afraid
Just as long
If you see a train this evening
Far away, against the sky
Lie down in your woolen blanket
Sleep and let the train go by
Trains have called us, every
(Ghost trains, ghost trains, what a fearful sight)
The cannonball and No.9 were racing through the night
Just as they passed me by, I heard the engineer
they can both long remain
They can take you and leave you alone and insane.
But freedom's in sight, if the road in the night
Is lit by the light
still but hours must really have rushed by
I didn't realize but love was in your eyes
I really should have gone
But love went on and on
Last train
reeling and rocking
The passengers were screaming with fear
For the train was being driven
By a crazy engineer
I'm driving this engine up to the moon
He
leave me
For God's sake stop the train
Oh the camel back is broken
By the one extra straw added on
And a woman can't see reason
When her last ray
this town 'cause you don't treat 'em right.
Oh, take a train (take a train), fly by plane (fly by plane),
Yeah, gettin' tired (gettin' tired), sick
Old toy trains
Little toy tracks
Little toy drums
Coming from a sack
Carried by a man
Dressed
In white and red
Little one
Don't you think
Every time you come around
I hear that lonesome sound
Ooh, train of memories
Boxcars go flyin' by
With all my dreams inside
Ooh, train of memories
catch light
Only when he gives me, makes me feel alright
My baby takes the morning train, he works from nine till five and then
He takes another home
