[Verse 1]
Just came up on the Midnight Special
Hey, how 'bout that?
My car broke down in Texas
She stopped dead in her tracks
Just called to tell you that I need you
Just called to tell you how I feel

[Chorus]
I feel like some old engine that's lost my driving wheel
I feel like some old engine that's lost my driving wheel

[Verse 2]
They took my money on the night train north
What a terrible thing
I gave my promise that I would be there with you
By Saturday night
I want to tell you that I need you
I need to tell you how I feel

[Chorus]
I feel like some old engine that's lost my driving wheel
I feel like some old engine that's lost my driving wheel

[Verse 3]
You can't say much in a phone call, babe
You know how it is
I have to tell you one short thing
Oh, won't you listen to this
I want to tell you that I love you, babe
I want to tell you just how I feel
[Chorus]
I feel like some old engine that's lost my driving wheel
I feel like some old engine that's lost my driving wheel

[Outro]
I feel like some old engine that's lost my driving wheel
Some old engine that's lost my driving wheel
I feel like some old engine that's lost my driving wheel
