Lyrics

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
