49 Tons lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics 49 Tons lyrics There were seventeen cars out in my back yard, The boys in blue are calling my name, Semi-automatic up on the rooftop, They just to want to talk to me, I told them what they wanted to hear, The only thing that I knew: Forty-nine tons of diesel locomotive Couldn t drag me back to you. Everywhere you look, there s a train wreck, baby, Everywhere you look, there s a runaway train, Play my heart like a bottleneck, baby, Running up and down and pulling its strings. Everywhere you go, everybody knows, You re looking for someone to do. Forty-nine tons of diesel locomotive Couldn t drag me back to you. If I was a switchman, if I was a brakeman, If I was an engineer, I d point that train on down the track And clear on out of here. If I was the man swinging the lantern, I d swing it til it was blue. Forty-nine tons of diesel locomotive Couldn t drag me back to you. Forty-nine tons of diesel locomotive Couldn t drag me back to you. Forty-nine tons of diesel locomotive Couldn t drag me back to you. Forty-nine tons of diesel locomotive Couldn t drag me back to you. Forty-nine tons of diesel locomotive Couldn t drag me back to you. song lyrics
