Just Like This Train

Joni Mitchell

(intro) () I’m al-ways running behind the time Just like this train Shaking into town With the brakes com-plai-ning I used to count lovers like railroad cars I counted them on my side Late-ly I don’t count on noth-ing I just let things slide The station mas-ter’s shuffling cards Box cars are bang-ing in the yards Jealous lovin’ll make you crazy If you can’t find your goodness ‘Cause you lost your heart () I went look-ing for a cause Or a strong cat without claws Or any reason to re- -sume And I found this empty seat In this crowded waiting room Ev-erybody waiting Old man sleeping on his bags Women with that teased-up kind of hair Kids with the jitters in their legs And those wide, wide open stares And the kids got Cokes and chocolate bars There’s a thin man smo-king a fat cigar Jealous lovin’ll make you crazy If you can’t find your goodness ‘Cause you lost your heart What are you gonna do now? You’ve got no one to give your love to () Well, I’ve got this berth And this roll-down blind I’ve got this fold-up sink And these rocks and cactuses go-ing by And a bottle of German wine to drink Settle down into the clickety-clack With the clouds and the stars to read Dream-ing of the pleasure I’m gon-na have Watching your hair-line recede My vain darling Watching your hair and clouds and stars I’m rocking away in a sleeping car This jealous lov-ing’s bound to make me cra-zy I can’t find my good-ness, I lost my heart Oh, sour grapes, because I lost my heart ()
