I’m calling you this morning

With a little bad news

Dear one please sit down

Cause you’re going to have the blues

I was on a freight train coming on home

When you said you’d have me back

But a sweet smile

Pulled the train off the track

I know it broke your daddy’s heart

When he saw you marry me

And the I-told-you-so’s poured on in

When I broke up our family

Now it may sound crazy baby

But in my love there’s no lack

A sweet smile

Pulled the train off the track

Tonight when you tuck in little Sam

Tell him you don’t know

Make me up one more excuse

Break it to him slow

For sometimes when a heart breaks slowly

It doesn’t have to crack

A sweet smile

Pulled the train off the track

I was a freight train coming on home

When you said you’d have me back

But a sweet smile

Pulled the train off the track
