I'm speeding up that two-lane
Along the railroad track
I've got to beat the train to the station
My baby's coming back
Racing the train, yes I'm racing the train

She expects me at that station
With flowers in my hands
I ain't got no flowers
And I'm running out of gas
Racing the train, yes I'm racing the train

(Chorus)
Racing the train, yes I'm racing the train
This tangled web I weave
Is going to kill me some day
Racing the train

She's coming back from Omaha
Visiting her mom
I've been with her sister-in-law
All night long
Racing the train, yes I'm racing the train

I can see the station
But I've got to cross the tracks
Me and that train
We're running neck to neck
Racing the train, yes I'm racing the train

(Chorus)

As I crossed them tracks
The last thing that I seen
A big old locomotive
Bearing down on me
Racing the train, yes I'm racing the train

Standing at the Pearly Gates
Saint Peter asked my name
He said, "Oh, you're the fool who was
Racing the train"
Racing the train, yes I'm racing the train

(Chorus)
