Hey Johnny, I wanna say, "Hi," and I´m sorry we can´t be there, but that´s just the way it is
I wanna sing you one of your songs about trains
I used to sing this song before I ever wrote a song
And I also wanna thank you for standing up for me way back when

Train of love is a comin´, big black wheels are hummin´
People waitin´ at the station, happy hearts are drummin´
Train men tell me maybe, ain´t she got my baby?

Ever so often, everybody´s baby gets the urge to roam
Everybody´s baby but mine´s coming home

Now stop your whistle blowin´ ´cause I´ve got ways of knowin´
You´re bringin´ other people´s lovers, but my own keeps goin´
Train of love deceivin´, when she´s not gone, she´s leavin´

Ever so often, everybody´s baby gets the urge to roam
Everybody´s baby but mine´s coming home

Train of love, now hasten, sweethearts standin´ and waitin´
Here and there and everywhere, there´s gonna be embracin´
Train men tell me maybe, ain´t she got my baby?

Ever so often everybody´s baby gets the urge to roam
Everybody´s baby but mine´s coming home

Train of love is leavin´, leavin´ my heart grievin´
But early or late I sit and wait because I´m still believin´
We´ll walk away together, though I may wait forever

Ever so often, everybody´s baby gets the urge to roam
Everybody´s baby but mine´s coming home
