Pocono Locomotive (Larry W. Jones 09/08/2007) (song#4925)

I met a restless heart in Pennsylvania
I thought that sweet girl was gonna be mine
I might as well have been in Romania
That old locomotive left me behind

It was the Pocono Locomotive
She boarded and I still don’t know her motive
As she looked at me out the window pane
She saw I was crying standing in the rain
It was the Pocono Locomotive
She left and won’t be coming back again, on
That old locomotive that she boarded
The Pocono Locomotive midnight train

I heard eight big wheels rumble
Pulling cars on past the hobo jungle
I sure wish she’d come on back
Down that Pocono Locomotive track
I would stand out in the rain
For that old Pennsylvania midnight train

– instrumental –

It was the Pocono Locomotive
She boarded and I still don’t know her motive
As she looked at me out the window pane
She saw I was crying standing in the rain
It was the Pocono Locomotive
She left and won’t be coming back again, on
That old locomotive that she boarded
The Pocono Locomotive midnight train

Why that girl up and left me
Never will be known
She hit the track, won’t be back
Now I’m on my own

I heard eight big wheels rumble
Pulling cars on past the hobo jungle
I sure wish she’d come on back
Down that Pocono Locomotive track
I would stand out in the rain
For that old Pennsylvania midnight train
