John Hiatt Lincoln Town song lyrics

What I feel is like an old freight train

Five miles long in the pouring rain

Rolling out of Detroit loaded up with shiny cars

And I'm sitting in a Cadillac smoking on a big cigar

What I feel's like an engine room

Open it up and smell the perfume

I love that diesel burning up the atmosphere

When you hear me blow well honey baby know I'm here

CHORUS:

Well I'm going down to Lincoln town

Turn your pretty little head around

Take the next train outward bound

Carry you out of Lincoln town

Well babe you know my home is with you

There ain't no town or city will do

I need a rolling partner carrying me down the line

and I'm a-comin' into Lincoln town baby right on time

Well love is like an automobile

or maybe a freight train dependin' on how you feel

Big wheels rolling listen to that engine whine

Well rubber or steel honey baby I don't mind

CHORUS

When you see that old black smoke

You know it's time to pack you a coat

Meet me at the station about a quarter to nine

You can ride in my Cadillac honey you can ride the blinds

CHORUS TWICE
