Catch That Train

Song byAmerica
in AlbumAlibi

Written by Dewey Bunnell, ©1980

Found on Alibi.

Well, I'm drivin' onward

Through the pourin' rain

There's a ticket waitin'

I gotta catch that train

The yellow racin' dreamboat

On California air

Single engine cowboy

Out in county fair

So, oh baby, hurry here to me

Oh baby, come see me

Oh baby, let the hours flee

Oh baby, come see

The silver clouds in August

Lover's names on trees

Imagine running water

You wadin' in knee deep

So, oh baby, hurry here to me

Oh baby, come see me

Oh baby, let the hours flee

Oh baby, come see

There's a world waitin'

Just for you to unfold

How are you to know

If you don't see, if you don't see

Those yellow racin' dreamboats

On California air

There's a ticket waitin'

I guess I'll catch you there

I guess I'll catch you there

So, oh baby, hurry here to me

Oh baby, come see me

Oh baby, let the hours flee

Oh baby, come see

(If you don't come) Oh baby, hurry here to me

Oh baby, come see me

(If you don't come) Oh baby, let the hours flee

Oh baby, come see

(If you don't come) Oh baby, hurry here to me

Oh baby, come see me

(If you don't come) Oh baby, let the hours flee

Oh baby, come see

(If you don't come)
