Artist: Merle Haggard Album: Hag-The Studio Recordings 1969-1976 (2007) Title: I Won't Give Up My Train
Lyrics I Won't Give Up My TrainI pulled into Memphis thirteen minutes early first time in two weeks That's where she came to meet me As I stepped down off four-fifty-one, I needed sleep The baby's over due I know, she need's some things But the more that we discuss it, it's the same
Long train rollin', got a feelin' and I'm knowin' She's not waitin' for me These rails keep gettin' longer, this feelin's gettin' stronger It won't let me be I love my woman fire and rain But I won't give up my train
The baby came in April while I was in Chicago in the pourin' rain With twelve flat cars, six rusted tankers three box cars and an empty sack of mail And though I'll be lonely, some nights I know There's just no other way to explain
Long train rollin', got a feelin' and I'm knowin' She's not waitin' for me These rails keep gettin' longer, this feelin's gettin' stronger It won't let me be I love my woman fire and rain But I won't give up my train
Long train rollin', got a feelin' and I'm knowin' She's not waitin' for me These rails keep gettin' longer, this feelin's gettin' stronger It won't let me be I love my woman fire and rain But I won't give up my train I love my woman fire and rain But I won't give up my train |
