Lyrics[]
A wreckless heart was beatin' in that restless girl of mine
And I was thinkin' that she'd be all right
That train has been around and now it finally crossed her mind
And the midnight run was rollin' right on time
It was rollin', rollin' right on time
It was a lo-locomotive
Even if it were a bull she would have rode it
To get out of here she didn't care
It was a lo-locomotive
It would have been a car, could have been a plane
Just so happened to be the midnight train
Those mighty wheels will rumble as they pass the hobo jungle
And I bet he's wishin' now that he had stayed
I never should have let her, guess I should have known her better
And I would if it wasn't for that train
If it wasn't, wasn't for that train
It was a lo-locomotive
Even if it were a bull she would have rode it
To get out of here she didn't care
It was a lo-locomotive
It would have been a car, could have been a plane
Just so happened to be the midnight train
She never really left me, she just left that one horse town
She hit the track and she won't be back to stand on common
It was a lo-locomotive
Even if it were a bull she would have rode it
To get out of here she didn't care
It was a lo-locomotive
It would have been a car, could have been a plane
Just so happened to be the midnight train
