[Verse 1]
And over in the teacher's home
She waited by the phone
For calls which never rang
And people who never sang
Train man rambled dusty into town
And made his daily round
Train man and he comes in the night
Brings her no love but he's right
Yes he's right

[Verse 2]
Through fog and misty morning dew
She'd seen his oily face
And he had touched her heart
Taken it apart
Though he never stopped to speak a word
His voice was all she heard
Train man and he comes in the night
Brings her no love but he's right
Oh yes he's right

[Bridge]
Little girl you're a pretty little girl
Won't you come with me a while?
Little girl in your frilly little world
Won't you give me your sweet smile?

[Interlude]
If you come tonight bring someone
If you come tonight bring someone
Don't come alone
If you come alone don't come
Don't come
Don't come

[Chorus]
Yes I know he's right
Yes I know he's right
Oh I know he's right
Yes I know he's right
Yes I know he's right
Yes I know he's right
Yes I know he's right
Yes I know he's right
Yes I know he's right
Yes I know he's right
Yes I know
Oh, yes I know, yeah
I know I'm right, yeah
I know I'm right, now
I know I'm
I, I, I know I'm right, yeah
I know I'm right
Oh woman I know I'm right, yeah
Oh yeah
I'm right, yeah
I know I'm right, yeah
I know I'm right

[Outro]
She held his hand
And whispered soft
I love you train man
He just grumbled
Like an engine as it rumbles
And said someday
Train man and he knows something's wrong
And he's right
Oh yes he's right

By the early 1970s, he had dropped the “System” from his recordings and continued to strive for broader success with various other bands. In 1973, he put together the Silver Bullet Band, with a group of Detroit-area musicians, with whom he became most successful on the national level with the album Live Bullet, recorded live with the Silver Bullet Band in 1975 at Cobo Hall in Detroit, Michigan. On his studio albums, he also worked extensively with the Alabama-based Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, which appeared on several of Seger’s best-selling singles and albums.
