Train I ride don´t be slow
If your whistle can blow
Fifteen miles down the track
Tell them I´m coming back
Counting poles counting sheep

Don´t be slow I won´t weep
If your wheels on the line
Were to put me on time
Just a year to the day
Since I went upon my way
To seek my fortune and fame
Be a star, change my name

And that´s it more or less
Til this midnight express
I know I can´t be late
Cause she said she won´t wait
She´ll just go marry Jack
So there´s no turning back
And it´s 25 to midnight and fifteen miles of track

Band I had got a break

Just one chance we had to take
Told my girl I´d be back
Left her with my friend Jack
New York City for a spell
Things didn´t turn out so well
Every dive that we played
We were lucky we got paid
Mr Train driver please
If your speed you increase
Every cent I have now
Will be yours this I vow

And that´s it more or less
Til this midnight express
I know I can´t be late
Cause she said she won´t wait
She´ll just go marry Jack
So there´s no turning back

And it´s 25 to midnight and fifteen miles of track

We called ourselves the Latino Lovers
Hawaiian shirts and top forty covers
I didn´t think I could sink this low
When drugs and booze ate all my dough
This isn´t how it was meant to be
There´s no such thing as a meal that´s free
If I was ever to get out alive
I have to get home on time

Train I ride don´t be slow
If your whistle can blow
Fifteen miles down the track
Tell them I´m coming back

And that´s it more or less

Til this midnight express
I know I can´t be late
Cause she said she won´t wait
She´ll just go marry Jack
So there´s no turning back
And it´s 25 to midnight and fifteen miles of track

And it´s 25 to midnight and fifteen miles of track
