I Just Came Down From Chippewa
Had A Station Wagon And A 100 Dollars
Thinkin′ About The Girl I Had Lost A Year Before
I Hadn't Seen Her For Some Time
Thought I Might Go On By
When Your Memory Came Floodin′ In
And You Closed That Door

Wish I Was A Freight Train, Baby
Wish I Was A Diesel Locomotive
I'd Come Whistling Down Your Track
Crashing In Your Door

Wish I Was A Freight Train, Baby
Wish I Didnt Have A Heart
You Need A Shovel For The Coal
Just To Get Me Started

Wish I Was A Freight Train, Baby
Wish I Was A Freight Train, Baby
Wish I Was A Freight Train

Well, Every Time I Talk To You
I Hear Your Jealous Lines
I Feel Like I've Been Left Abandoned
On Some Old Railway Side

And Every Time I Hear Your Voice
My Water Just Gets Cold
My Stoker Will Not Stoke
And My Boiler Will Not Boil

Wish I Was A Freight Train, Baby
Wish I Was A Diesel Locomotive
I′d Come Whistling Down Your Track
Crashing In Your Door

Wish I Was A Freight Train, Baby
Wish I Didnt Have A Heart
You Need A Shovel For The Coal
Just To Get Me Started

Wish I Was A Freight Train, Baby
Wish I Was A Freight Train, Baby
Wish I Was A Freight Train

Well, Every Time I Fell Behind
I Could Not Get Ahead
I Wish Someone Would Pull The Lever
And Give Me A Little Sand

And Every Time I Slip Behind
Even Further Back
I Wish Some Switch Man Would Come Out Of Fog
And Change My Track

Wish I Was A Freight Train, Baby
Wish I Was A Diesel Locomotive
I′d Come Whistling Down Your Track
Crashing In Your Door

Wish I Was A Freight Train, Baby
Wish I Didnt Have A Heart
You Need A Shovel For The Coal
Just To Get Me Started

Wish I Was A Freight Train, Baby
Wish I Was A Freight Train, Baby
Wish I Was A Freight Train
Woo!

Wish I Was A Freight Train, Baby
Wish I Was A Diesel Locomotive
I'd Come Whistling Down Your Track
Crashing In Your Door

Wish I Was A Freight Train, Baby
Wish I Didnt Have A Heart
You Need A Shovel For The Coal
Just To Get Me Started

Wish I Was A Freight Train, Baby
Wish I Was A Freight Train, Baby
Wish I Was A Freight Train
