Lyrics

It's 3 a.m. in the mornin'
The train whistle is blowin'
It sounds like some lonesome song
Got in my soul
In my soul
My baby split blank and
He won't be back no more
My baby thinks he's a train
He makes his whistle stop
Then he's gone again
Sometimes, it's hard
On a poor girl's brain
A poor girl's brain
I'm tellin' you, boys
My baby thinks he's a train
Locomotion is the way he moves
He drags me around
Just like an old caboose
I'm tellin' you, girls
That man's insane
My baby thinks he's a train
Choo-choo rages on, train sound
It's the noise that you hear
When my baby hits town
With his long hair flyin'
Man, he's hard to take
Oh, what you s'posed to do when
Your baby thinks he's a train?
He eats money like a train eats coal
He burns it up
And leaves you in the smoke
If you wanna catch a ride
You wait 'til he unwinds
He might unwind
He's just like a train
He always gives some tramp a ride
Locomotion's the way he moves
He drags me 'round
Just like an old caboose
I'm tellin' you, girls
That man's insane
My baby thinks he's a train
