Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm always runnin' behind the time Just like this train Shakin' into town with the brakes complainin' I used to count lovers like railroad cars I counted them on my side Lately I don't count on nothin' I just let things slide [Chorus] The station master's shufflin' cards Boxcars are bangin' in the yards Jealous lovin'll make you crazy If you can't find your goodness 'cause you lost your heart [Verse 2] I went lookin' for a cause or a strong cat without claws Or any reason to resume And I found this empty seat in this crowded waiting room Everybody waiting Old man sleepin' on his bags Women with that teased-up kind of hair Kids with the jitters in their legs and those wide, wide open stares [Chorus] And the kids got Cokes and chocolate bars There's a thin man smokin' a fat cigar Jealous lovin'll make you crazy If you can't find your goodness 'cause you lost your heart [Bridge] What are you going to do now? You've got no one to give your love to [Verse 3] Well I've got this berth and this roll-down blind I've got this fold-up sink And these rocks and these cactuses goin' by And a bottle of German wine to drink Settle down into the clickety clack With the clouds and the stars to read Dreamin' of the pleasure I'm goin' to have Watching your hairline recede, my vain darlin' [Chorus] Watching your hair and clouds and stars I'm rockin' away in a sleepin' car This jealous lovin's bound to make me crazy I can't find my goodness, I lost my heart Oh, sour grapes because I lost my heart
