I'm always running behind the time

Just like this train

Shaking into town

With the brakes complainin'

I used to count lovers like railroad cars

I counted them on my side

Lately I don't count on nothing

I just let things slide

The station master's shuffling cards

Boxcars are banging in the yards

Jealous lovin'll make you crazy

If you can't find your goodness

Cause you lost your heart

I went looking for a cause

Or a strong cat without claws

Or any reason to resume

And I found this empty seat

In this crowded waiting room

Everybody waiting

Old man sleeping on his bags

Women with that teased up kind of hair

Kids with the jitters in their legs

And those wide wide open stares

And the kids got cokes & chocolate bars

There's a thin man smoking a fat cigar

Jealous lovin'll make you crazy

If you can't find your goodness

Cause you've lost your heart

What are you going to do now

You've got no one to give your love to

Well I've got this berth & this roll down blind

I've got this fold up sink

And these rocks

And these cactus going by

And a bottle of German wine to drink

Settle down into the clickety clack

With the clouds & the stars to read

Dreaming of the pleasure I'm gonna have

Watching your hairline recede, my vain darling

Watching your hair & clouds & stars

I'm rocking away in a sleeping car

Cause this jealous lovin's bound to make me

Crazy

I can't find my goodness

I lost my heart

Oh sour grapes

Because I lost my heart
