Lyrics

[00:09.000] I'm always running behind the time
[00:15.000] Just like this train
[00:19.000] Shaking into town
[00:22.000] With the brakes complaining
[00:31.000] I used to count lovers like railroad cars
[00:35.000] I counted them on my side
[00:40.000] Lately I don't count on nothing
[00:43.000] I just let things slide
[00:48.000] The station master's shuffling cards
[00:53.000] Boxcars are banging in the yards
[00:58.000] Jealous lovin'll make you crazy
[01:01.000] If you can't find your goodness
[01:04.000] 'Cause you lost your heart
[01:19.000] I went looking for a cause
[01:22.000] Or a strong cat without claws
[01:25.000] Or any reason to resume
[01:28.000] And I found this empty seat
[01:31.000] In this crowded waiting room
[01:36.000] Everybody waiting
[01:40.000] Old man sleeping on his bags
[01:45.000] Women with that teased up kind of hair
[01:49.000] Kids with the jitters in their legs
[01:53.000] And those wide, wide open stares
[01:57.000] And the kids got cokes and chocolate bars
[02:02.000] There's a thin man smoking a fat cigar
[02:07.000] Jealous lovin'll make you crazy
[02:12.000] If you can't find your goodness
[02:14.000] 'Cause you've lost your heart
[02:25.000] What are you going to do now
[02:29.000] You've got no one
[02:32.000] To give your love too
[02:43.000] Well I've got this berth and this pull down blind
[02:47.000] I've got this fold up sink
[02:51.000] And these rocks and these cactus going by
[02:56.000] And a bottle of German wine to drink
[03:04.000] Settle down into the clickety clack
[03:08.000] With the clouds and the stars to read
[03:13.000] Dreaming of the pleasure I'm going to have
[03:17.000] Watching your hairline recede
[03:19.000] My vain darling
[03:21.000] Watching your hair and clouds and stars
[03:25.000] I'm rocking away in a sleeping car
[03:30.000] This jealous lovin's bound to make me crazy
[03:35.000] I can't find my goodness
[03:38.000] I lost my heart
[03:39.000] Oh sour grapes
[03:42.000] Because I lost my heart
