Verse I
On a freight train out of Memphis, headed for L.A.
I'm leavin' all your memories behind
The winter winds are blowin' cold across the great divide.
But not as cold as you were the night we said goodbye
Chorus
Doin' forty miles an hour, in a boxcar headed west
Gotta to leave your world behind me, gotta to give my heart a rest
I'm hole'd up on a freight train, tryin' to get you off my mind
Goin' out to " Shaky City ", goin' down for one last time
Verse 2
With the rhythm of the boxcar, rockin' me to sleep.
In restless dreams I'm haunted by your face
I guess there isn't any way, to leave the hurt behind.
Cause even on this lonesome train I've got you on my mind
Chorus
