Fast Train - Great Divide

Rolling down the track to see my babe

She always is waiting up for me

It’s been too doggone long since I’ve seen her face

Brakeman won’t you please blow off some steam

Rising up at dawn working hard for my pay

She’s the only place my money goes

But I’m at it all alone in the freezing rain

Gotta steal away to where the weather suits my clothes

I need a fast train, I need a fast train, to roll me home

Something in the way that she calls my name

Lifts me up and sends me riding high

Never for a minute did I forsake my gal

I missed her water long before my well ran dry

I need a fast train, I need a fast train, to roll me home

I need a fast train, I need a fast train, it’s all I’ve known

When that lonesome whistle blows

Won’t find me around here no more

My baby’s arms is all I know

Going back to the place I’ve been before
