Ain’t going to Boston or New Orleans
Old St. Louie, or down to Queens
Just heading out
Out between the blues
Come on and grab my hand now, honey
Grab a seat and catch the view (good news)

Heard the whistle times before
Hear it coming here once more
Let’s run and get good seats
It’s time to get things running, baby
Don’t just stand there in the street

'Cause the train’s a coming down the track
Me and my baby ain’t coming back
For seven years
We’ll be out of here
Ain’t sticking around for all the trouble
We’ll be sitting high and dry, you hear
