There's a slow train comin', I hear the whistle in the night
There's a slow train comin', I hear the whistle in the night
Must be up around the bend, 'cause she's nowhere in sight
I feel the rollin' loco motion, there's clickin' on the tracks
I feel the rollin' loco motion, there's clickin' on the tracks
Gonna get here pretty soon, gonna bring my baby back
Save yourself, save yourself if you can
Run the other way before she steals your soul again
There ain't no second chances, she ruined your life
And deep inside you know, she'll never make it right
She went away and left me, left me for some other man
She went away and left me, left me for some other man
I've been restless for so long, I've got these shakin' hands
You know I caught the fever, sweat's rollin' down my brow
You know I caught the fever, sweat's rollin' down my brow
Need to get me some relief, and put her fire out somehow
Save yourself, save yourself if you can
Nothin' that she ever did was part of your plan
You need to get some control back again
And find a way to escape from the pain
There's voices in my head, talkin' to me every day
There's voices in my head, tellin' me, I been betrayed
I might just shoot that little girl, when she steps down off that train
Might shoot that little girl, can't let her get away
There's some loco motion comin', I hear the clickin' on the tracks
There's some loco motion comin', I hear the clickin' on the tracks
She's always there to haunt me, always dressed in black
Now they're comin' in to get me, and strap me down for my attack
Make your peace, make your peace if you can
The second hand keeps tickin' now it's very near the end
