Kasey Chambers - Freight train

Well I just came down from Chippewa I had a station wagon and a hundred dollars I was thinkin' about the girl I'd lost a year before I hadn't seen her for some time I thought that I might go on by When your memory came floodin' in And you closed that door[CHORUS:]Wish I was a freight train baby Wish I was a diesel locomotive I'd come whistlin' down your track Crashin' in your door Wish I was a freight train baby Wish I didn't have a heart And you'd need a shovel for the coal Just to get me started Wish I was a freight train baby Wish I was a freight train Well every time I talk to you And I hear your jealous lies 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[CHORUS]Well every time I fell behind And 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 switchman would come out of the fog And change my track Wish I was a freight train baby Wish I was a diesel locomotive I'd come whistlin' down your track Crashin' in your door Wish I was a freight train baby Wish I didn't have a heart And you'd need a shovel for the coal Just to get me started Wish I was a freight train baby Wish I was a freight train . . .
