Lyrics

I'm always running behind the time Just like this train, shaking 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 nothing, I just let things slide The station master's shuffling cards Boxcars are banging in the yards Jealous lovin'll make you crazy if you can't find your goodness 'Cause, you lost your heart 'Cause you lost your heart I went looking 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 I found everybody waiting There's an old man sleeping on his bags Women with that teased up kind of hair Kids with the jitters in their legs And those wide, wide open stares And the kids got cokes and chocolate bars There's a thin man smoking a fat cigar Jealous lovin'll make you crazy if you can't find your goodness 'Cause, you've lost your heart 'Cause, you've lost your heart Well, I've got this berth and this roll down blind I've got this fold up sink, and these rocks And these cactuses going by, ah And a bottle of German wine to drink I'm gonna settle down into the clickety clack with the clouds and the stars to read Dreaming of the pleasure I'm gonna have Watching your hairline recede my vain, darling Watching your hair and clouds and stars I'm rocking away in a sleeping car Oh, jealous lovin's gonna make me crazy I can't find my goodness I lost my heart Oh, sour grapes, because I lost my heart
