I've been workin' so hard, baby, |
|
Tryin' to get to you. |
|
I'm gonna be there soon because |
|
In the heat of the day many miles away |
|
When the sun is beating down upon the main street |
|
I'll be waiting here at the station, |
|
I gotta move down the line. |
|
They'll be dancin' and singin' and doin' their thing |
|
And they'll be rockin' and rollin' until the day is done. |
|
You know i got to make the deadline. |
|
I gotta get that southbound train tonight, ooh. |
|
If i don't get to the border then i'll write. |
|
The mardi gras will be blowing strong |
|
And the people dancing all across the city. |
|
I'm leaving here tonight, |
|
I gotta move down the line. |
|
I'm gonna catch a ride on the nine-o-five, |
|
I'm gonna ride the rail until we reach the morning, |
|
Maybe three or four hundred miles. |
|
I gotta get that southbound train tonight, ooh. |
|
If i don't get to the border then i'll write. |
|
When the wind is blowing softly |
|
Through the streets of a little town and the music's playin |
|
You're waiting somewhere over the horizon. |
|
I gotta get that southbound train tonight, ooh. |
|
If i don't get to the border then i'll write. |
