You're the Only Train (On My One Track Mind)

(7th And Beale)
Gilbert Sanchez and Stanfield Major

         

YOU'RE THE ONLY TRAIN (ON MY ONE TRACK MIND)

 

V1

I heard your whistle, I was raring to go,

loved the way you rumbled as you hauled my coal

thought it was clear when the brakeman gave the sign

you're the only train on my one track mind.

 

          Chorus:

YOU'RE THE ONLY TRAIN ON MY ONE TRACK MIND

          SEE YOUR LIGHTS A SHINING... MY OH MY

          BY THE TIME THAT CABOOSE COMES SWINGING ON BEHIND

          YOU'RE THE ONLY TRAIN ON MY ONE TRACK MIND

 

V2

Deep in the night I heard your distant whistle moan

such a mournful sound leaving me alone

under the moon in the shadow of a pine

you're the only train on my one track mind.

 

(CHORUS)

 

          Bridge:

Someone's telling stories up and down the tracks

          lying 'bout the details, messing with the facts.

          Didn't think you'd listen to a lot of hoop tee hoo.

          Babe the only train on my track is you.

 

(CHORUS)
