Lyrics
Freight train outside my window
Where you going?
Have you got room for one broken heart?
Freight train where you going,
Where you bound for?
I'm going with you, I am bound for love
He said he had to leave 'bout last December
He said he would call for me in May
May has come and gone it's now September
Freight train wait for me, I'm on my way
Freight train outside my window
Where you going?
Have you got room for one broken heart?
Freight train where you going,
Where you bound for?
I'm going with you, I am bound for love
Never heard much from him after April
He only hoped I wasn't runnin' wild
Never told him nothin' 'bout the bad times
Never told him 'bout his handsome child
Freight train outside my window
Where you going?
Have you got room for one broken heart?
Freight train where you going,
Where you bound for?
I'm going with you, I am bound for love
I wonder if I really want to see him
I wonder if I know what love's about
I know that I am lonely and I need him
There's only one way for me to find out
Freight train outside my window
Where you going?
Have you got room for one broken heart?
Freight train where you going,
Where you bound for?
I'm going with you, I am bound for love
Freight train outside my window
Where you going?
Have you got room for one broken heart?
Freight train where you going,
Where you bound for?
I'm going with you, I am bound for love
I'm going with you, I am bound for love
Freight train wait for me, I'm on my way
