Lyrics

Looking for a locomotive down the steel track
Looking for a locomotive bring my baby back
I'm gonna bring my baby back
On that cold steel track
Looking down that steel track looking for the train that brings my baby back.

You rode away on that Rock Island Line
I chased you down didn't make the depot on time
You took the Rock Island Line
You know that train was on time.
Looking down that steel track looking for the train that brings my baby back.

You transferred your ticket to the Milwaukee Road
Heading east that's what I was told
You took the Milwaukee Road
Riding steel that's cold
Looking down that steel track looking for the train that brings my baby back.

Looking for a locomotive down the steel track
Looking for a locomotive that'll bring my baby back
I'm gonna bring my baby back
On that cold steel track
Looking down that steel track looking for the train that brings my baby back.

Porter said you boarded the BNSF
Said you rode away... on that steel track you left
You took the BNSF
And you left the Midwest
Looking down that steel track looking for the train that brings my baby back.

This morning I learned you're on Chicago Northwestern
heading to a point of no return
You're on the Chicago Northwestern
You got miles to burn
Looking down that steel track looking for the train that brings my baby back.

Looking for a locomotive down the steel track
Looking for a locomotive that'll bring my baby back
I'm gonna bring my baby back
On that cold steel track
Looking down that steel track looking for the train that brings my baby back.
