To stand on common ground
Could have been a plane
It would have been a car
It was a lo locomotive
And the midnight run was rollin' right on time
It was a lo locomotive
Guess I should have known her better
As they pass the hobo jungle
Now that he had stayed
Just so happened to be the midnight train
It was a lo-locomotive
That train has been around
It was a lo-loco motive
To get out of here, she didn't care
It would have been a car
And I bet he's wishin'
She would have rode it
Just so happened to be the midnight train
It was a lo-locomotive
Could have been a plane
And I would if it wasn't for that train
She just left this one horse town
Could have been a plane
I never should have let her
She would have rode it
It was a lo-locomotive
For that train, for that train
And I was thinkin' that she'd be alright
To get out of here, she didn't care
It was rollin', rollin' right on time
She never really left me
She would have rode it
And now it finally crossed her mind
To get out of here, she didn't care
Well, even if it were a bull
Those mighty wheels will rumble
It would have been a car
Well, even if it were a bull
She hit the track and she won't be back
If it wasn't, wasn't for that train
Well, even if it were a bull
