I’m al-ways running behind the time
Just like this train
Shaking into town
With the brakes com-plai-ning
I used to count lovers like railroad cars
I counted them on my side
Late-ly I don’t count on noth-ing
I just let things slide
The station mas-ter’s shuffling cards
Box cars are bang-ing in the yards
Jealous lovin’ll make you crazy
'Cause you lost your heart
I went look-ing for a cause
Or a strong cat without claws
Or any reason to re- -sume
And I found this empty seat
In this crowded waiting room
Ev-erybody waiting
Old man sleeping on his bags
Women with that teased-up kind of hair
Kids with the jitters in their legs
And those wide, wide open stares
And the kids got Cokes and chocolate bars
There’s a thin man smo-king a fat cigar
Jealous lovin’ll make you crazy
'Cause you lost your heart
What are you gonna do now?
You’ve got no one to give your love to
Well, I’ve got this berth
And this roll-down blind
I’ve got this fold-up sink
And these rocks and cactuses go-ing by
And a bottle of German wine to drink
Settle down into the clickety-clack
With the clouds and the stars to read
Dream-ing of the pleasure I’m gon-na have
Watching your hair-line recede
My vain darling
Watching your hair and clouds and stars
I’m rocking away in a sleeping car
This jealous lov-ing’s bound to make me cra-zy
I can’t find my good-ness, I lost my heart
Oh, sour grapes, because I lost my heart
