About

This is a train song, and while trains themselves have faded in our consciousness, the idea of a train that just keeps rolling along is stuck in our imaginations.

I Won’t Give Up My Train Lyrics

I pulled into Memphis thirteen minutes early
First time in two weeks
There's where she came to meet me
As I stepped down off old 51 and needed sleep
And the baby's overdue, I know you need some things
But the more that we discuss it, it's the same

Long train rolling, got a feelin'
And I'm knowin' she's not waitin' for me
These rails keep gettin' longer
This feeling's gettin' stronger, it won't let me be
Yeah, I love my woman, fire and rain
But I won't give up my train

Baby came in April
While I was in Chicago in the pouring rain
With four flat cars, a rusty tanker
Three boxcars and an empty sack of mail
And though I'll be lonely some nights
I know there's just no other way to explain

Long train rollin', got a feelin'
And I'm knowin' she's not waitin' for me
These rails keep gettin' longer
This feeling's gettin' stronger, it won't let me be
Yeah, I love my woman, fire and rain
But I won't give up my train
Oh, I love my woman fire and rain
I won't give up my train
