lyrics

Good lord I'm nervous
Cause the word is finally out
And you know this kind of town can't keep a secret
You ought to know
I never meant for this to happen
Shackles, shame and chain reactions
Inconvenience

Oh the heart and mind work on their own time
And thought we try as we may
In my heart and bones there's a locomotive
Calling out your name, "I Love You"
Ah ooh ooh oooh

Just like a bandit
Hiding from the land and light
Cutting through each starry night so noone knows
You got my heart
Tied across these railroad tracks
Got me flat across my back
So it goes

Oh the heart and mind work on their own time
And thought we try as we may
In my heart and bones there's a locomotive
Calling out your name, "I Love You"
Ah ooh ooh oooh

Oh sweet relief
Counting all my lucky fortune
To be sitting on this porch and holding you
Oh sweet tarnation
Then I wake up and I scream as I wake up from this dream
Cause it ain't true

Oh the heart and mind work on their own time
And thought we try as we may
In my heart and bones there's a locomotive
Calling out your name, "I Love You"
Ah ooh ooh oooh
