Train I ride don’t be slowIf your whistle can blowFifteen miles down the trackTell them I’m coming backCounting poles counting sheepDon’t be slow I won’t weepIf your wheels on the lineWere to put me on timeJust a year to the daySince I went upon my wayTo seek my fortune and fameBe a star, change my nameAnd that’s it more or lessTil this midnight expressI know I can’t be lateCause she said she won’t waitShe’ll just go marry jackSo there’s no turning backAnd it’s 25 to midnight and fifteen miles of trackBand I had got a breakJust one chance we had to takeTold my girl I’d be backLeft her with my friend jackNew york city for a spellThings didn’t turn out so wellEvery dive that we playedWe were lucky we got paidMr train driver pleaseIf your speed you increaseEvery cent I have nowWill be yours this I vowAnd that’s it more or lessTil this midnight expressI know I can’t be lateCause she said she won’t waitShe’ll just go marry jackSo there’s no turning backAnd it’s 25 to midnight and fifteen miles of trackWe called ourselves the latino loversHawaiian shirts and top forty coversI didn’t think I could sink this lowWhen drugs and booze ate all my doughThis isn’t how it was meant to beThere’s no such thing as a meal that’s freeIf I was ever to get out aliveI have to get home on timeTrain I ride don’t be slowIf your whistle can blowFifteen miles down the trackTell them I’m coming backAnd that’s it more or lessTil this midnight expressI know I can’t be lateCause she said she won’t waitShe’ll just go marry jackSo there’s no turning backAnd it’s 25 to midnight and fifteen miles of trackAnd it’s 25 to midnight and fifteen miles of track
