A long time down away on the Eastside, Southside
Los Angeles, Detroit, America, U.S.A
Sittin' right about here watchin' high heels
And sneakers tread concrete platform headin' straight
For who knows where and why and how come

Goin' down the rails and comin' back
Train a-comin' goin'
Clack, clack, clack
Goin' down the rails and comin' back
Clack, clack, clack
Clack, clack, clack

I'm thinkin' in sick a brain
"Say, man, where you goin' with all those stories
Wrapped up in suitcase and handbags and old rags?"
He says, "I can't stay, cause the 12:40's got my name."
Well it goes without saying that everybody just loves a train

Steel whistle blowing crazy round and round
Jump on a car when she comes around
Steel whistle blowing crazy round and round
Jump on a car when she coming around
Clack, clack, clack
Clack, clack, clack
Goin' down the rails and comin' back
Train coming, going
Going clack, clack, clack
Clack, clack, clack

Just goes without saying that everybody loves a train
Go ahead and call us insane, but we all just love a train
We love a train
Yeah, we love a train...

Yeah, the train coming down the track
Hear the whistle going
Yeah, the train coming down the track
Hear the wheels going clack, clack, clack

Everybody just loves a train
