Just Like This Train - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I'm always runnin' behind the time

Just like this train

Shakin' into town with the brakes complainin'

I used to count lovers like railroad cars

I counted them on my side

Lately I don't count on nothin'

I just let things slide

The station master's shufflin' cards

Boxcars are bangin' in the yards

Jealous lovin'll make you crazy

If you can't find your goodness 'cause you lost your heart

I went lookin' for a cause or a strong cat without claws

Or any reason to resume

And I found this empty seat in this crowded waiting room

Everybody waiting

Old man sleepin' on his bags

Women with that teased-up kind of hair

Kids with the jitters in their legs and those wide, wide open stares

And the kids got Cokes and chocolate bars

There's a thin man smokin' a fat cigar

Jealous lovin'll make you crazy

If you can't find your goodness 'cause you lost your heart

What are you going to do now?

You've got no one to give your love to

Well I've got this berth and this roll-down blind

I've got this fold-up sink

And these rocks and these cactuses goin' by

And a bottle of German wine to drink

Settle down into the clickety clack

With the clouds and the stars to read

Dreamin' of the pleasure I'm goin' to have

Watching your hairline recede, my vain darlin'

Watching your hair and clouds and stars

I'm rockin' away in a sleepin' car

This jealous lovin's bound to make me crazy

I can't find my goodness, I lost my heart

Oh, sour grapes because I lost my heart
