about

A "Havana Moon, Chuck Berry" take on the travels of the working-man working away from home .....

lyrics

Night train rolling down the railroad track
The iron rails buckle then they buckle right back
I see the leading diesel pulling us over the crest
I lean my head against the window try and get some rest
Steel wheels screaming in my sleep
Diesel locomotive don’t you know I got a rendezvous to keep

She’ll be waiting at the station at a quarter to three
My black-eyed Rosalita saving it all up for me
I’ve been away up in the North working my fingers to the bone
I catch the night train bring my money back home
Steel wheels screaming in my sleep
Diesel locomotive don’t you know I got a rendezvous to keep

Station after station picking up all night fares
Smell that dirty diesel in the midnight air
My head feels heavy, my eyes like lead
I can’t wait to get some rest in Rosalita’s bed
Steel wheels screaming in my sleep
Diesel locomotive don’t you know I got a rendezvous to keep

Bright lights burning through an early-morning town
Sleep finally come I lay my poor head down
Rosalita search the platform, breathing diesel smoke
But I’m five more miles down the track before I woke
Steel wheels screaming in my sleep
Diesel locomotive don’t you know I got a rendezvous to keep
