[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 down off four-fifty-one and needed sleep
And the baby's overdue, I know you needs some things
But the more that we discuss it, it's the same

[Chorus]
Long train rolling, got a feeling
And I'm knowing she's not waiting for me
These rails keep getting longer
And this feeling's getting stronger
She won't let me be
I love my woman, fire and rain
But I won't give up my train

[Verse 2]
The baby came in April
While I was in Chicago in the pouring rain
With twelve flat cars, an empty tank
Three box cars and an empty sack of mail
And though I get lonely sometimes, I know
There's just no other way to explain

[Chorus]
Long train rolling, got a feeling
And I'm knowing she's not waiting for me
These rails keep getting longer
And this feeling's getting stronger
She won't let me be
I love my woman, fire and rain
But I won't give up my train
[Chorus]
Long train rolling, got a feeling
And I'm knowing she's not waiting for me
These rails keep getting longer
And this feeling's getting stronger
She won't let me be
I love my woman, fire and rain
But I can't give up my train

[Outro]
I love my woman fire and rain
But I won't give up my train
