There`s a morning train
Headed for New Orleans
Carrying bussiness men and week day shoppers
I have sixteen bucks and a dollar in change
That`s not bad price for a one way ride
On a morning train
I give you my devotion
You left me heartsick
Oh, you couldn`t had hurt me more
Not workin` with a night stick
Now I`m tired of sharin` this bed of nails
So come first light I`m gonna be right
With the mornin` train
So goodbye lover, I`m goin` undercover
Crescent City`s gonna swallow me
Gonna skip my ring `cross the Mississippi River
When it sinks I wont` feel a thing
When it sinks I won`t feel a thing
I`m gonna be stayin`
With a short time acquaintance
When I met him he was playin`
On the Gulf Breeze Circuit
He didn`t play no hit songs or TV themes
He`s a guitar man just a hired hand
From a local band
So goodbye lover, I`m goin` undercover
Crescent City`s gonna swallow me
Gonna skip my ring `cross the Mississippi River
When it sinks I wont` feel a thing
When it sinks I won`t feel a thing
The whistles blowin` clear and loud
When I hit the station
I`ll take a taxi to the corner
I`m gonna meet him by a street car
Name of what-cha-ma-call-it
My imagination
Won`t let us miss a thing
Life`s gonna be fine when I leave him behind
On a mornin` train
