Tryin' to make a train at sunrise
Gonna have to run a red light
Tryin' to make a train at sunrise
Gonna have to run a red light
Travlin' with my Carolina
You know, the girl kept me up all night
And when my Carolina throw down
You know the girl know how to fight

Don't think we're gonna make it
There's nothin' else that anyone could do
I don't think we're gonna make it
There's nothin' else than anyone could say
I almost got the feelin'
That Carolina like it that way
Said, I'm waitin' on the trainman
To hurry up and take my pain away
Hear what I say

All aboard
All aboard
Wait for me
Wait for me
Wait for me

Trainman kept his promise
I'm gonna try and go on back to bed
Said the trainman kept his promise
I'm gonna try and go on back to bed
I can't sleep anyway
Thinkin' about what my Carolina said
And, oh, my Carolina
Runnin' like a freight train through my head
