[Verse 1]
I pulled into Memphis thirteen minutes early
First time in two weeks
That's where she came to meet me
As I stepped out on four-fifty-one and needed sleep
[Verse 2]
And the baby's overdue, I know
And you need some things
But that more that we discuss it, it's the same
[Chorus]
Long train rolling, got a feeling and I know it
She's not waiting for me
But these rails keep getting longer
The feeling's getting stronger, it won't let me be
Well, I love my woman fire and rain
But I won't give up my train
[Verse 3]
Baby came in April
While I was in Chicago in the pouring rain
Twelve black cars and a rusty tanker
Three box cars and an empty sack of mail
And although I get lonely, there's times I know
That there's just no other way to explain
[Chorus]
Long train rolling, got a feeling and I know it
She's not waiting for me
But these rails keep getting longer
The feeling's getting stronger, it won't let me be
Well, I love my woman fire and rain
But I won't give up my train
[Chorus]
Long train rolling, got a feeling and I know it
She's not waiting for me
But these rails keep getting longer
The feeling's getting stronger, it won't let me be
Well, I love my woman fire and rain
But I won't give up my train
Yeah, I love my woman fire and rain
But I can't give up my train
