Alan Jackson - Freight Train Lyrics
I just came down from Chippewa
Had as station wagon and a hundred dollars
Thinking about the girl I'd lost a year before
I hadn't seen her for some time
Thought I might go on by when your memory came flooding in and you closed that door
Wish I was a freight train baby
Wish I was a diesel locomotive
I'd come whistling down your track crashing in your door
Wish I was a freight train baby
Wish I didn't have a heart
You need a shovel for the coal just to get me started
Wish I was a freight train baby
Wish I was a freight train baby
Wish I was a freight train
I feel like I've been left abandoned on some old railway side
And every time I hear your voice my water just gets cold
My stoker will not stoke and my boiler will not boil
Wish I was a freight train baby
Wish I was a diesel locomotive
I'd come whistling down your track crashing in your door
Wish I was a freight train baby
Wish I didn't have a heart
You need a shovel for the coal just to get me started
Wish I was a freight train baby
Wish I was a freight train baby
Wish I was a freight train
Well every time I fell behind I could not get ahead
I wish someone would pull the lever and give me a little sand
And every time I slip behind even further back
I wish some switch man would come out of the fog and change my track
Wish I was a freight train baby
Wish I was a diesel locomotive
I'd come whistling down your track crashing in your door
Wish I was a freight train baby
Wish I didn't have a heart
You need a shovel for the coal just to get me started
Wish I was a freight train baby
Wish I was a freight train baby
Wish I was a freight train
Wish I was a freight train baby
Wish I was a diesel locomotive
I'd come whistling down your track crashing in your door
Wish I was a freight train baby
Wish I didn't have a heart
You need a shovel for the coal just to get me started
Wish I was a freight train baby
Wish I was a freight train baby
Wish I was a freight train

Alan Jackson Freight Train Comments
Оооооочччччеееееннннннннььььььь ты крутой парень
❤❤❤❤
This is a Fred Eaglesmith song,great Canadian song writer, but sadly doesnt get enough credit.
Somehow i like the "Kasey Chambers version" more....more emotional i guess. But dang, thats Alan Jackson folks!
Still playing 2019 and strong 💪🏽🕺🏿
I remember my 23 year old in 2011.
i wish i was a....
I only know this song sung by Fred Eaglesmith
💃🎸❤️
Thanks for the good song,holmie!
God song
Why is it that everyone has to pick at a song? Why not just enjoy it instead of complain?
Is everyone that much of a lonely pussy?
Get a life and stop complaining about something that doesnt effect you daily life.
Don't be fooled kids, this is a FRED EAGLESMITH song! Damnit! Fred Eaglesmith.
2019 Squad❤️
No, almost 2020
i play this song often when i play rdr2
Nice video
why isn't this on spotify anymore?
EMD F7?
I love this song
Aile est bonne
Шикарно !!!
I hate when People ask for likes.
like if you agree
i aint likin but i agree
Alan does this so much better than Fred eagle smith
Dis is d best song evör
This version PALES in comparison to Fred Eaglesmith's - Fred wrote this and performs it 100x better.
New favorit Song right there
Ingen som kjem
Pure country gold!
Pretty ironic song considering Jackson's marriage was nearly ruined by his infidelity in real life.
Sou o unico br que ama essa musica e esta vendo aqui \*0*/
mais um br q curte
mais um aki ☺️
belle chanson xxx
He talks about being a diesel locomotive then suggests shoveling coal to get it started?
Brody Vowles
He wishes he was a diesel locomotive, he's "only" a coal locomotive.
He’s said he wishes he was a diesel locomotive
I think shovel full of coal symbolizes love just get get him start. Each get he hears her voice, his water gets cold and his engine, his heart, will stall out. Diesel locomotives doesn't have a heart that doesn't care and just keeps going.
He wishes he was a freight train..... either coal or diesel powered. Dumb cunt
@rayisawesoem shut the fuck up and quit picking at a song, go stick your 2 inch clit in the vaccum again and get off YouTube.
country music at it's best
Cool song =D
så jävla PRO
good music keeps on on
the go on train from London to Suffolk uk Robin
Come out in tx
My love story started with this song <3

Robin white
Written by Fred Eaglesmith NOT Alan jackson
Ark.Issue.Helper I agree. I actually think that Alan Jackson's version is better.

Alan ruins it.
Alan does very good not like fred
Alan is outstanding.

Hopefully the canadian makes some money off this.

Wish I was a freight train baby
Wish I was a diesel locomotive
I'd come whistling down your track crashing in your door.
Wish I was a freight train baby
Wish I didnt have a heart
You need a shovel for the coal just to get me started
Wish I was a freight train baby
Wish I was a freight train baby
Wish I was a freight train.
Well every time I talk to you I hear your jealous lines
I feel like I've been left abandoned on some old railway side
And every time I hear your voice my water just gets cold
My stoker will not stoke and my boiler will not boil.
Wish I was a freight train baby

nice song..
like the song
Love it... !
Naughty,Epic Cowboy Alan!
i like trains
damn.... You dare using that word?????????
It is a word that is not funny to use!!
You moron!!
What word
yes!!!!!
I wrote it.
THANK YOU! When I saw Fred Eaglesmith live, he talked about how this was almost Jackson's album title, he would've made a million dollars, then something changed and it wasn't, and $1,000,000 just disappeared. Feel bad for the guy, he works so hard and has written some of the best country songs ever, but gets no credit.
Trent Black I agree
Trent Black I didn’t know that who I feel bad
Great song
Love it!!
your an idiot, same title doesn't make it the same song,
Ben Whedbee it is the same song though lol, he was saying they both used the same title for the song. They are same exact lyrics.
You’re*
rapeeeeetrain
So good
Love this song thn should be number 1 on spotify
Good...very good. I think Alan Jackson is the best interpret ever, side by side with Nightwish
NO! Have you ever heard Elizabeth Cotten's "Freight Train"? This is NOT the Elizabeth Cotten song! Just because the title is the same doesn't make it the same song! Not one lyric or melodic phrase is even similar in these songs. Ridiculous.
ever one alan dint write the song he just sings it better
Fred Eaglesmith readily sells the rights to his songs. Alan Jackson does own the rights to this tune, just as the Michael Jackson estate owned the rights to the Beatles' music.
Fred & his band do a very rocking version of this on Youtube.
In my opinion both Alan Jackson and Fred were scooped
on this song by Kasey Chambers.
Her version betters the master himself, not to mean any irreverence to the amazing Willie P. Bennett.
And yer right Shep, Kory rocks. Cheers.
My favorite song
RAPE TRAIN BABY
ACTUALLY! Fred Eaglesmith certainly wrote this my friend. My sister in law is the drummer for Fred. KORI ROCKS!!!!!!
I tought he said "Rape train"... LOL
Haagen Sandbakken LOLSU
same here :)
actually.. elizabeth cotten wrote this.
This is very catchy. Love the music.
12 has not seen a train
heard this on the radio the other day for the first time.. damn it's catchy!
is so fucking goood
So good! Much love! Kicks Ass!
Siempre nos acompañara en la costa oeste
I like all of them.....lol
actually, George Strait is the king. Hank Williams / Johnny Cash are the Gods.
johnny cash is the king! alan jackson is the duke
Thank you, this has been added to a playlist...
Hank Williams Sr. is/was the King, but Alan Jackson is getting up there.
Yes brother you are right as right can be.
Okay can't resist.
I'd come whistling down your track and crash in your doorway if you know what I mean ;)
Justin Bieber if you just stumbled upon this video, i hope you realize your music is crap and you start your carreer as a garbage disposer so you can see how many of you records are being thrown away. Thumbs up to get this comment in the top!
You are right
@mattlashinski So glad someone is giving him the recognition he needs 10000000000000000000 thumbs up to you my friend!! I know his daughter personally and have met Fred a few times he's great
