Just Like This Train

Lyrics

I'm always running behind the time
 Just like this train, shaking into town with the brakes complainin'
 I used to count lovers like railroad cars
 I counted them on my side
 Lately, I don't count on nothing, I just let things slide
 The station master's shuffling cards
 Boxcars are banging in the yards
 Jealous lovin'll make you crazy if you can't find your goodness
 'Cause, you lost your heart
 'Cause you lost your heart
 I went looking for a cause
 Or a strong cat without claws
 Or any reason to resume
 And I found this empty seat in this crowded waiting room
 I found everybody waiting
 There's an old man sleeping on his bags
 Women with that teased up kind of hair
 Kids with the jitters in their legs
 And those wide, wide open stares
 And the kids got cokes and chocolate bars
 There's a thin man smoking a fat cigar
 Jealous lovin'll make you crazy if you can't find your goodness
 'Cause, you've lost your heart
 'Cause, you've lost your heart
 Well, I've got this berth and this roll down blind
 I've got this fold up sink, and these rocks
 And these cactuses going by, ah
 And a bottle of German wine to drink
 I'm gonna settle down into the clickety clack with the clouds and the stars to read
 Dreaming of the pleasure I'm gonna have
 Watching your hairline recede my vain, darling
 Watching your hair and clouds and stars
 I'm rocking away in a sleeping car
 Oh, jealous lovin's gonna make me crazy
 I can't find my goodness
 I lost my heart
 Oh, sour grapes, because I lost my heart
