[1] My heart's breakin' [^b3] lord and it's takin'
[4] Me on a one way trip [1] on down the track
My soul is burnin' [^b3] the wheels are turnin'
[4] Hey mister engineer won't you [1] bring my baby back

[1] Well she left me this mornin' [4] my head a-hangin' low
[1] You could hear that whistle [4] blow
[1] I don't know what I'd done [4] I must-a had too much fun
[1] Lord I hate to see her [4] go

I'm headed down a one way track and one-ways don't turn back
They just keep goin' on and on
It's down in my soul and I'm about to lose control
And there's just one thing you must know
