freight train
roaring through the desert at night
Headed straight for
Yuma
I hear it every time it rolls through town
It's one a .m. and I'm wide awake,
too hot
Those wheels keep turnin' round
And wheels keep turnin'
round and round
Me and that train cover a lot of ground
Wish I may, wish I might
Gonna be another long,
hot night
Trucks are flying up and down I -10
I can hear them in the distance
Tired drivers trying to beat the heat
Tex -Mex playing on the radio
Wet house on the corner
Tapping my fingers to the beat
Tapping my fingers to the beat
Me and my brother in our bare feet
Never gave up without a fight
Gonna be another long,
hot night
There's a full moon rising
on the edge of town
I can see it out my window
A big old lemon in the velvet black
I used to drive with the headlights out
Moonlight on the highway
You were sleepin' with
your head in my lap
You were sleepin' with
your head in my lap
Your life don't get much
better than that
Hubcap spinning in the light
Gonna be another long,
hot night
We are turning left to
Park
Road
I'm right here in our little hard house
And you're sleeping
beside me
Listening to the wobble
of the ceiling fan
I'm listening to the wobble of the ceiling fan
I wish I was a better man
Gonna keep trying till I get it right
It's gonna be another
long hard night
Listening to the wobble of a ceiling fan
I wish I was a better man
I'm gonna keep trying till
I get it right
It's gonna be another
long hard night
We
