G
What I feel is like an old freight train
G
Five miles long in the pouring rain
C G
Rolling out of Detroit loaded up with shiny cars
D G
And I'm sitting in a Cadillac smoking on a big cigar
G
What I feel's like an engine room
G
Open it up and smell the perfume
C G
I love that diesel burning up the atmosphere
D G
When you hear me blow well honey baby know I'm near
[Chorus]
[G F ]
Well I'm going down to Lincoln town
[C G ]
Turn your pretty little head around
[G F ]
Take the next train outward bound
[C G rest 3 beats] G G
Carry you out of Lincoln town
[Verse 3]
G
Well babe you know my home is with you
G
There ain't no town or city will do
C G
I need a rolling partner carrying me down the line
D G
And I'm a-comin' into Lincoln town baby right on time
G
Because love is like an automobile Or
G
maybe a freight train dependin' on how you feel
C G
Big wheels rolling listen to that engine whine
D G
On rubber or steel honey baby I don't mind
[Chorus]
[Verse 5]
G
When you see that old black smoke
G
You know it's time to pack you a coat
C G
Meet me at the station about a quarter to nine
D
You can ride in my Cadillac or baby you can ride the
G
blinds, I don't mind
[Chorus] X2
