I Won't Give Up My Train

I pulled into Memphis thirteen minutes early first time in two weeks

That's where she came to meet me

As I stepped down off of fifty one and needed sleep

And the baby's overdue I know you need some things

But the more that we discuss it, it's the same

Long train rollin', got a feeling and I'm knowin'

She's not waitin' for me

These rails keep gettin' longer and this feeling's gettin' stronger

She won't let me be

I love my woman fire and rain

But I won't give up my train

Baby came in April while I was in Chicago In the pouring rain

Twelve flat cars in an empty tanker

Three boxcars in an empty sack mail

And although I get lonely, sometimes I know

That there's just no other way to explain

Long train rollin', got a feeling and I'm knowin'

She's not waitin' for me

These rails keep gettin' longer and this feeling's gettin' stronger

She won't let me be

I love my woman fire and rain

But I won't give up my train, no way

Long train rollin', got a feeling and I'm knowin'

She's not waitin' for me

These rails keep gettin' longer and this feeling's gettin' stronger

Won't let me be

But I love my woman fire and rain

And I can't give up my train, no way, no way

Yeah, alright
