My Baby Thinks He’s a Train
[Verse 1]
It's three a.m. in the morning, the train whistle is blowin'
It sounds like some lonesome song got in my soul, in my soul
My baby split blanket, he won't be back no more
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Locomotion is 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
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
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
What you s'posed to do when your baby thinks he's a train?
[Verse 4]
He eats money like a train eats coal, he burns it up and leaves you in the smoke
If you want to catch a ride, you wait till he unwinds (He might unwind)
He's just like a train, he always gives some tramp a ride
[Chorus]
Locomotion is 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
