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
