[Verse 1]
Well, I ride on a mail train, babe, can't buy a thrill
I've been up all night and I'm leanin' on a window sill
Well, if I don't make it to the top of the hill
If I don't make it you know my baby will
[Verse 2]
And the winter time is coming, the windows are filled with frost
I went to tell everybody but I could not get across
Well, I wanna be your lover, baby, I don't want to be your boss
Don't say I never warned you when your train gets lost
Come on play one for me
[Verse - solo piano bars 1-12]
Oh, don't say I never warned you when your train gets lost
Going home
[Verse - solo slide guitar bars 1-8]
Hey, I wanna be your lover, baby, I don't wanna be your boss
Don't say I never warned you when your train gets lost
Well, I ride on a mail train, babe, can't buy a thrill
I've been up all night and I'm leanin' on a window sill
Well, if I don't make it to the top of the hill
If I don't make it you know my baby will
[Verse 2]
And the winter time is coming, the windows are filled with frost
I went to tell everybody but I could not get across
Well, I wanna be your lover, baby, I don't want to be your boss
Don't say I never warned you when your train gets lost
Come on play one for me
[Verse - solo piano bars 1-12]
Oh, don't say I never warned you when your train gets lost
Going home
[Verse - solo slide guitar bars 1-8]
Hey, I wanna be your lover, baby, I don't wanna be your boss
Don't say I never warned you when your train gets lost
