What I feel, is like an old freight train
Five miles long in the pouring rain
Rolling out of Detroit, loaded up with shiny cars
And I'm sitting in a Cadillac, smoking on a big cigar
What I feel's like an engine room
Open my door, get away from perfume
I love that diesel, burning up the atmosphere
When you hear me blow, well honey baby, know I'm here
I'm going down to Lincoln town
Turn your pretty little head around
Take the next train, outward bound
Carry you out of the Lincoln town, oh
♪
Well, babe, you know my home is with you
There ain't no town or city will do
I need a rolling partner, carrying me down the line
And I'm comin' into Lincoln town, baby, right on time
Because love is like an automobile
Or maybe a freight train dependin' on how you feel
Big wheels rolling, baby 'til that engine whines
On a rubber or steel, honey baby, I don't mind
'Cause I'm going down to Lincoln town
Turn your pretty little head around
Take the next train, outward bound
Carry you out of the Lincoln town
I'm gonna get you, baby, now
Alright
♪
And now, when you see that old black smoke
You know it's time to pack you a coat
Meet me at the station, about a quarter to nine
While you can ride in my Cadillac, oh baby, you can ride the blinds
I don't mind
'Cause I'm going down to Lincoln town
Turn your pretty little head around
Take the next train, southward bound
Carry you out of the Lincoln town
I said, I'm going down to Lincoln town
Turn your pretty little head around
Take the next train, southward bound
Carry you out of the Lincoln town, oh
♪
Yeah
I'll come and I'll get you, baby
♪
Yeah
