P. Barrere, F. Tackett



outside my hotel window, my eyes they spy the rails

while lost in the horizon, the mystic balley trail

southwestern transportation tighten up the cotton belt

those santa fe steamers, hot 'nuff to make me melt



give me a big train... a big train rollin' all night long

put me on the track that will take me back to you

give me a big train.. big train' rollin' - loco mo

got some loco motion

got some loco mo

got some loco motives I'm dyin' to try on you



boring days... frantic nights

sittin' round waitin' for delayed flights

meters runnin' in brand new shoes

sordid rhythms rockin' black and blues

hometown drama, highway trauma

phone bill's got at least one comma

achin' skull at the end of my rope

give me some money, send me some hope



give me a big train... all night long

put me on the track that will take me back to you

give me a big train.. big train' rollin' - loco mo

got some loco motion

got some loco mo

got some loco motives I'm dyin' to try on you



steel wheel's singin' such a lonesome song

engines whinin' been gone too long



boiler burnin' - 'bout to burst

like a drownin' man, I'm dyin' of thirst

when you hear the whistle moan

means the southern pacific is bringing me home

hey girl, get your new dress on

big train's rollin' in at dawn

oh baby don't you cry no more

big train's a rollin' up to your door



give me a big train... a big train rollin' all night long

put me on the track that will take me back to you

give me a big train.. big train' rollin' - loco mo

got some loco motion

got some loco mo

got some loco motives I'm dyin' to try on you
