Little Feat - Loco Motives Lyrics

Outside my hotel window, my eyes they spy the rails
While lost in the horizon, the mystic balley trail
Southwestern transportation tighten up the cotton belt
Those santa fe steamers, hot 'nuff to make me melt

Give me a big train... a big train rollin' all night long
Put me on the track that will take me back to you
Give me a big train.. big train' rollin' - loco mo
Got some loco motion
Got some loco mo
Got some loco motives I'm dyin' to try on you

Boring days... frantic nights
Sittin' round waitin' for delayed flights
Meters runnin' in brand new shoes
Sordid rhythms rockin' black and blues
Hometown drama, highway trauma
Phone bill's got at least one comma
Achin' skull at the end of my rope
Give me some money, send me some hope

Give me a big train... all night long
Put me on the track that will take me back to you
Give me a big train.. big train' rollin' - loco mo
Got some loco motion
Got some loco mo
Got some loco motives I'm dyin' to try on you

Steel wheel's singin' such a lonesome song
Engines whinin' been gone too long

Boiler burnin' - 'bout to burst
Like a drownin' man, I'm dyin' of thirst
When you hear the whistle moan
Means the southern pacific is bringing me home
Hey girl, get your new dress on
Big train's rollin' in at dawn
Oh baby don't you cry no more
Big train's a rollin' up to your door

Give me a big train... a big train rollin' all night long
Put me on the track that will take me back to you
Give me a big train.. big train' rollin' - loco mo
Got some loco motion
Got some loco mo
Got some loco motives I'm dyin' to try on you
