I pulled into Memphis thirteen
minutes early first time in two weeks
There's where she came to meet me as I stepped
down off of 51 and needed sleep
And the baby's overdue I know
But the more that we discuss
Long train rolling got a feeling and
I'm knowing she's not waiting for me
These rails keep getting longer and this feeling's
getting stronger she won't let me be
I love my woman fire and rain but
Baby came in April while I was in
Chicago in the pouring rain
Black car and rusty tanker three
boxcars and an empty sack of mail
And though I get lonely sometimes I know
there's just no other way to explain
