A wreckless heart was beatin' in that restless girl of

Mine and I was thinkin' that she'd be all right,

That train has been around and now it finally crossed her

Mind and the midnight run was rollin' right on time

It was rollin', rollin' right on time.



chorus

It was a lo-loco motive,

Even if it were a bull she would have rode it

To get out of here she didn't care.

It was a lo-loco motive,

It would have been a car, could have been a plane,

Just so happened to be the midnight train



Those mighty wheels will rumble as they pass the hobo

Jungle and I bet he's wishin' now that he had stayed,

I never should have let her, guess i should have known her

Better and I would if it wasn't for that train.

If it wasn't, wasn't for that train.



chorus

It was a lo-loco motive,

Even if it were a bull she would have rode it.

To get out of here she didn't care.

It was a lo-loco motive,

It would have been a car, could have been a plane,

Just so happened to be the midnight train.



bridge

She never really left me, she just left that one horse town

She hit the track and she won't be back to stand on common ground



chorus

It was a lo-loco motive

Even if it were a bull she would have rode it.

It was a lo-loco motive,

It would have been a car, could have been a plane,

Just so happened to be the midnight train.
