Intro:

 –  –  –  –  -  – 
 –  –  – 

                                    
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
If you can’t find your goodness
                              
  ‘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
If you can’t find your goodness
                        
  ‘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
