Gotta Be A Train

my baby done left, she left on a plane

but I didn't mind, she should'a took a train

gotta be a train when you're saying goodbye

somethin' bout an old caboose puts a tear in your eye

can't take a bus, ya can't drive a car

you can't ride a bike when you're going that far

gotta be a train when you're running away

leaving all your blues behind for a sunny day

blue go away, blue go away

wahhh……. go away

now some climb aboard for the sheer delight

while some stow away to avoid the fight

with the railroad bull keeping watch or' the night

for the bo's hiding on the train

I'll ride in the front, I'll ride on the back

don't matter to me as long as I'm on this track

gotta be a train to lose the ball and chain

somethin' bout the locomotion turns my crazy sane

somethin' bout this locomotion turns my crazy sane
