Lyrics

FREIGHT TRAIN
Rita Witter Music

I've seen this freight train coming
From as far as a mile away
I can't stop it from running
She won't listen to what I say
So I wrote that girl a letter
Tried to put it into words
She is sick and I want her better
As she constantly is driving forward

Into the abyss
She leaves with a kiss
She hasn't had enough of this
Oh no,
Listen to that freight train whistle blow

When will the screaming end (ahhh)
When will the listening begin (ahhh)
I've lost lovers and friends (ahhh)
Through the years
And it always ends this way (ahhh)
Uhhh huh (ahhh)
And words, my words
A jumbled mess
Never to be heard (ahhh)
Lean in disarray (ahhh)

Into the abyss
She leaves with a kiss
She hasn't had enough of this
Oh no,
Listen to that freight train whistle blow

After she read my letter
She said Oh my dear old friend
I love the wisdom of your spirit
But my words she still would bend
I told her that I would miss her
We both know where this will end
I can't watch this train wreck happen
One more time
Over and over and over again

Into the abyss
She leaves with a kiss
She hasn't had enough of this
Oh no,
Listen to that freight train whistle blow

Oh no
Listen to that freight train
Listen to that freight train
Listen to that freight train...
