Fast Movin` Train Lyrics

Fast Movin` Train lyrics

She had a long line of loves, 

Mostly the gambling kind.

I didn't want to be like the others, 

And get left behind.

I heard about her bad reputation,

And how she had a heart of stone.

How she'd give a man a moment of pleasure, 

To get what she wants.





I had a weakness for her kind of woman,

I could never deny, 

I know I wouldn' ever see it coming,

'Til I was lost in her eyes.

The more I tried to keep her at a distance,

The more I became aware.

She was breaking down my resistance,

'Til I no longer cared.



Tonight I saw a red, red rose in the yellow moon.

Shining on a silhouette lying in the shadows of my bedroom.

I knew it when we made love,

And I couldn't quit calling her name,

That I'd been hit by another fast movin' train.

I'd been hit by another fast movin' train. 



I wondered, as I lay there and held her,

"Why can't this be real?"

Why the fear wouldn't let me tell her,

How good she made me feel.

I doubted if she would even be around,

When the morning comes.

I waited 'til she fell asleep to whisper,

"Baby, look what you've done." 



Tonight I saw a red, red rose in the yellow moon.

Shining on a silhouette lying in the shadows of my bedroom.

I knew it when we made love,

And I could not quit calling her name.

That I'd been hit by another fast movin' train.



Tonight I saw a red, red rose in the yellow moon.

Shining on a silhouette lying in the shadows of my bedroom.

I knew it when we made love,

And I couldn't quit calling her name.

That I'd been hit by another fast movin' train.

I'd been hit by another fast movin' train.
