I Won’t Give Up My Train Songtext
von Merle Haggard

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 of fifty one and needed sleep
And the baby's overdue I know you need some things
But the more that we discuss it, it′s the same

Long train rollin', got a feeling and I'm knowin′
She′s not waitin' for me
These rails keep gettin′ longer and this feeling's gettin′ stronger
She won't let me be
I love my woman fire and rain
But I won′t give up my train


Baby came in April while I was in Chicago In the pouring rain
Twelve flat cars in an empty tanker
Three boxcars in an empty sack mail
And although I get lonely, sometimes I know
That there's just no other way to explain

Long train rollin', got a feeling and I′m knowin′
She's not waitin′ for me
These rails keep gettin' longer and this feeling′s gettin' stronger
She won′t let me be
I love my woman fire and rain
But I won't give up my train, no way

Long train rollin', got a feeling and I′m knowin′
She's not waitin′ for me
These rails keep gettin' longer and this feeling′s gettin' stronger
Won′t let me be
But I love my woman fire and rain
And I can't give up my train, no way, no way

Yeah, alright
