Train I ride dont be slow
If your whistle can blow
Fifteen miles down the track
Tell them Im coming back
Counting poles counting sheep
Dont be slow I wont weep
If your wheels on the line
Were to put me on time

Just a year to the day
Since I went upon my way
To seek my fortune and fame
Be a star, change my name
And thats it more or less
Til this midnight express
I know I cant be late
Cause she said she wont wait
Shell just go marry jack
So theres no turning back
And its 25 to midnight and fifteen miles of track

Band I had got a break
Just one chance we had to take
Told my girl Id be back
Left her with my friend jack
New york city for a spell
Things didnt turn out so well
Every dive that we played
We were lucky we got paid

Mr train driver please
If your speed you increase
Every cent I have now
Will be yours this I vow
And thats it more or less
Til this midnight express
I know I cant be late
Cause she said she wont wait
Shell just go marry jack
So theres no turning back
And its 25 to midnight and fifteen miles of track

We called ourselves the latino lovers
Hawaiian shirts and top forty covers
I didnt think I could sink this low
When drugs and booze ate all my dough
This isnt how it was meant to be
Theres no such thing as a meal thats free
If I was ever to get out alive
I have to get home on time

Train I ride dont be slow
If your whistle can blow
Fifteen miles down the track
Tell them Im coming back
And thats it more or less
Til this midnight express
I know I cant be late
Cause she said she wont wait
Shell just go marry jack
So theres no turning back
And its 25 to midnight and fifteen miles of track
And its 25 to midnight and fifteen miles of track
