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
