I was speeding through the dark   I didn?t know how far   It can all run away with you sometimes   In an empty box car      You were trying to tell me something   I wasn?t listening to you   There was nothing but confusion   Every time that train come blowin? through      Then you wrote me in a letter   I don?t how your courage came   You told me what you wanted   Every word in tears and flame      How you loved me more than ever   In spite of all the hurt inside   And it cracked my heart wide open   ?Til there was no place left to hide      And I wanna thank you babe   For letting me back in   I wanna thank you for asking me   To love you again      I wanna thank you babe   For letting me back in   I wanna thank you for asking me   To love you again      I?d forgotten how to be patient   I?d forgotten how to caress   I?d forgotten how to ask for help   And how to struggle for my best      I was harder than those iron wheels   Rollin? down the track   And every trip I took I never looked   To getting any feelin? back      And I wanna thank you babe   For letting me back in   I wanna thank you for asking me   To love you again      I wanna thank you babe   For letting me back in   I wanna thank you for asking me   To love you again      Then you met me at the station   With a promise and a kiss   You said, my love for you will always be true   But you must remember this      Respect me and protect me   But don?t expect me not to fall   And I will do the same for you   Until the final call      And I wanna thank you babe   For letting me back in   I wanna thank you for asking me   To love you again      I wanna thank you babe   For letting me back in   I wanna thank you for asking me   To love you again      Thank you baby   For letting me back in   I wanna thank you for asking me   To love you again
