Wish I was a freight train, baby
Wish I was a diesel locomotive
I'd come whistling down your track,
Wish I was a freight train, baby
Wish I didn't have a heart
You need a shovel for the coal
Wish I was a freight train, baby
Wish I was a freight train, baby
Wish I was a freight train
Well, every time I talk to you
I hear your jealous lines
I feel like I've been left abandoned
And every time I hear your voice
and my boiler will not boil
Wish I was a freight train, baby
Wish I was a diesel locomotive
I'd come whistling down your track,
Wish I was a freight train, baby
Wish I didn't have a heart
You need a shovel for the coal
Wish I was a freight train, baby
Wish I was a freight train, baby
Wish I was a freight train
Well, every time I fell behind,
I wish someone would pull the lever
and give me a little sand
And every time I slip behind
I wish some switch man 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 whistling down your track,
Wish I was a freight train, baby
Wish I didn't have a heart
You need a shovel for the coal
Wish I was a freight train, baby
Wish I was a freight train, baby
Wish I was a freight train
Wish I was a freight train, baby
Wish I was a diesel locomotive
I'd come whistling down your track,
Wish I was a freight train, baby
Wish I didn't have a heart
You need a shovel for the coal
Wish I was a freight train, baby
Wish I was a freight train, baby
Wish I was a freight train
