Back up the train
(Back up, train)
Turn it around
(Turn around)
I`ve got to take my baby
(Got to take my baby)
Oh, wherever I`m bound
I`m a lonely man
Just a lonely man
Need a helping hand
Yeah, yeah
Back up the train
(Back up, train)
Ease the pain
(Ease the pain)
Take me to my baby
(Take me to my baby)
I`m going insane
So, mister conductor
(Turn this train around)
All you gotta do now
(Turn this train around) ohh
Music in my hand
I`m a lonely man
Need a helding hand
Yeah,yeah
So back this train up
That all you gotta do now
I`ll never forget the
Girl I left behind
Her tears, her kiss
Her face stay on my mind
I got to make her say
That she`ll forgive me
I gotta get back, so, ohh
Baby, baby, baby, baby
I need, I need your
Loving right now, darling
