Freight train coming
Rolling down the track
Heading for the Frisco bay
Clickety clack I aint going back
I’m going down to LA
Left my woman in a one room shack
Never going back again
She done me wrong
Comin' on too strong
And I can't stand the pain
I’mma headin down a lonesome highway
Rollin down a one way road
Trying to find a way that I can
Lift this heavy load
I don’t need no reminding
Of the trouble that I’ve caused
You know I just can’t take it anymore
Freight train comin’ rolling down the track
Heading for Los Angeles
Clickety clack there’s no goin' back
But I’m down on my knees
Left the city with my suitcase packed
Don’t know what the future brings
All I know when it’s time to go
You better turn around and leave
I’mma headin down a lonesome highway
Rollin' down a dusty road
Trying to find a reason for a love
That turned so cold
I just need a one way ticket
Don’t need no return
I’m leaving this here city
All my bridges have been burned
I can’t take it anymore
The writings on the wall
And It’s plain to see the place where we went wrong
The raging and the scorn
The fighting and the wars
You know I just can’t take it anymore
You know I always said that life’s too short
Freight train coming rolling down the track
Clickety clack, clickety clack
Freight train coming rolling down the track
Never goin back no more.
