Lyrics

There were seventeen cars out in my back yard
The boys in blue are calling my name
Semi-automatic up on the rooftop
They just to want to talk to me
I told them what they wanted to hear
The only thing that I knew:
Forty-nine tons of diesel locomotive
Couldn't drag me back to you
Everywhere you look, there's a train wreck, baby
Everywhere you look, there's a runaway train
Play my heart like a bottleneck, baby
Running up and down and pulling its strings
Everywhere you go, everybody knows
You're looking for someone to do
Forty-nine tons of diesel locomotive
Couldn't drag me back to you
If I was a switchman, if I was a brakeman
If I was an engineer
I'd point that train on down the track
And clear on out of here
If I was the man swinging the lantern
I'd swing it 'til it was blue
Forty-nine tons of diesel locomotive
Couldn't drag me back to you

Forty-nine tons of diesel locomotive
Couldn't drag me back to you
Forty-nine tons of diesel locomotive
Couldn't drag me back to you
Forty-nine tons of diesel locomotive
Couldn't drag me back to you
Forty-nine tons of diesel locomotive
Couldn't drag me back to you
