Fast Train

Rolling down the track to see my babe
She always is waiting up for me
It’s been too doggone long since I’ve seen her face
Brakeman won’t you please blow off some steam
Rising up at dawn working hard for my pay
She’s the only place my money goes
But I’m at it all alone in the freezing rain
Gotta steal away to where the weather suits my clothes
I need a fast train, I need a fast train, to roll me home
Something in the way that she calls my name
Lifts me up and sends me riding high
Never for a minute did I forsake my gal
I missed her water long before my well ran dry
I need a fast train, I need a fast train, to roll me home
I need a fast train, I need a fast train, it’s all I’ve known
When that lonesome whistle blows
Won’t find me around here no more
My baby’s arms is all I know
Going back to the place I’ve been before
