    Downtown Train, by Tom Waits. The Rod Stewart version is a later cover.

    Driver 8, R.E.M.
    [video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuFId1RYSZE&sns=em[/video]

    (Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe)

    The walls are built up, stone by stone,
    The fields divided one by one
    And the train conductor says
    “Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break
    We’ve been on this shift too long”

    And the train conductor says
    “Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break
    We can reach our destination, but we’re still a ways away”

    I saw a treehouse on the outskirts of the farm
    The power lines have floaters so the airplanes won’t get snagged
    Bells are ringing through the town again,
    Children look up, all they hear is sky-blue, bells ringing

    And the train conductor says
    “Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break
    We can reach our destination, but we’re still a ways away”
    But we’re still a ways away

    Way to shield the hated heat
    Way to put myself to sleep
    Way to shield the hated heat
    Way to put myself, my children to sleep

    He piloted this song in a plane like that one
    She is selling faith on the Go Tell crusade
    Locomotive 8, Southern Crescent hear the bells ring again
    Fields of wheat are lookin’ thin

    And the train conductor says
    “Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break
    We’ve been on this shift too long”
    And the train conductor says
    “Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break
    We can reach our destination, but we’re still a ways away”
    But we’re still a ways away

    Freight train, freight train, going so fast
    Freight train, freight train, going so fast
    Please don’t tell what train I’m on
    So they won’t know where I’m gone.

    Freight train, freight train, going round the bend
    Freight train, freight train, gone again
    One of these days turn that train around
    Go back to my home town

    Freight train, freight train, going so fast
    Freight train, freight train, going so fast
    Please don’t tell what train I’m on
    So they won’t know where I’m gone

    One more place I’d like to be
    One more place I’d love to see
    To watch those old Blue Ridge Mountain climb
    While I ride old Number Nine

    Freight train, freight train, going so fast
    Freight train, freight train, going so fast
    Please don’t tell what train I’m on
    So they won’t know where I’m gone

    When I die please bury me deep
    Down at the end of Chestnut Street
    So I can hear old Number Nine
    As she goes rolling by

    Freight train, freight train, going so fast
    Freight train, freight train, going so fast
    Please don’t tell what train I’m on
    So they won’t know where I’m gone

    When I’m dead and in my grave
    No more good times here I’ll crave
    Place the stones at my head and feet
    And tell them I’ve gone to sleep

    Freight train, freight train, going so fast,
    Freight train, freight train, going so fast.
    Please don’t tell what train I’m on
    So they won’t know where I’m gone

    Please don’t tell what train I’m on
    So they won’t know where I’m gone.

    Freight Train, by Alan Jackson, Lindisfarne (different song)
    [video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xyt9gUlrec&sns=em[/video]

    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 it was a freight train baby
    Wish it was a diesel locomotive
    I’d come whistling down your track crashing in your door.
    Wish it was a freight train baby
    Wish it didnt have a heart
    You need a shovel for the coal just to get me started
    Wish it was a freight train baby
    Wish it was a freight train baby
    Wish it 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 it was a freight train baby
    Wish it was a diesel locomotive
    I’d come whistling down your track crashing in your door.
    Wish it was a freight train baby
    Wish it didnt have a heart
    You need a shovel for the coal just to get me started
    Wish it was a freight train baby
    Wish it was a freight train baby
    Wish it 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 it was a freight train baby
    Wish it was a diesel locomotive
    I’d come whistling down your track crashing in your door.
    Wish it was a freight train baby
    Wish it didnt have a heart
    You need a shovel for the coal just to get me started
    Wish it was a freight train baby
    Wish it was a freight train baby
    Wish it was a freight train.

    Wish it was a freight train baby
    Wish it was a diesel locomotive
    I’d come whistling down your track crashing in your door.
    Wish it was a freight train baby
    Wish it didnt have a heart
    You need a shovel for the coal just to get me started
    Wish it was a freight train baby
    Wish it was a freight train baby
    Wish it was a freight train.

    You’re No Train, by Kris Delmhorst.
    http://www.last.fm/music/Kris+Delmhorst/Songs+for+a+Hurricane/You%27re+no+Train
    No video, Kris doesn’t have the money, neither does her record label.

    Well a train blows a whistle before it pulls away
    But no word or warning do you say
    One minute right beside me, another you’re a thousand miles away

    Well I felt such a shaking and I heard such a whirr
    And I swore we were moving fast enough to blur
    Then I opened up my eyes and found that we’re right back where we were

    Baby you’re no train, you’re the track
    Always running away, always running back
    Baby you’re no train, you’re the steam blowing by

    How I longed for the journey, and those far distant lands
    I believed all your promises and plans
    Now I’m standing at the station with a lonely ticket in my hand

    Baby you’re no train, you’re the track
    Always running away and running back
    Baby you’re no train, you’re the silence behind
    So roll on

    Songwriters
    Kristina S Delmhorst
