FREIGHT TRAIN Fred Eaglesmith Intro: Am''' F''' G''' Am''' Am F Well I just came down the Chippewa, I had a station wagon and hundred dollars, G Am I was thinkin' 'bout the girl I'd lost the year before. Am F I hadn't seen her for some time, I thought that I might go on by, G Am When your memory came floodin' in and closed that door. Chorus: Am F Wish I was a freight train, baby, wish I was a diesel locomotive, G Am I'd come whistlin' down your track and crashin' in your door. Am F Wish I was a freight train, baby, wish I didn't have a heart, G Am And you'd need a shovel full of coal just to get me started. Am E Wish I was a freight train, baby, wish I was a freight train. Every time I talk to you, I hear your jealous lies, I feel like I've been left abandoned on some old railway siding. And every time I hear your voice, my water just gets cold, My stoker will not stoke and my boiler will not boil. (Chorus and repeat Intro) Every time I fell behind and I could not get ahead, I wish someone would pull a lever and give me a little sand. And every time I slipped behind, hey, even further back, I wish some switch man would come out of the fog and change my track. (Chorus)
