10 :38

Written by: Chas Ryder
Singer: Chas Ryder

SHE’S ROLLING DOWN THE TRACK AND HER SMOKE IS ALL BLACK
AND SHE’S BOUND FOR NEW ORLEANS,
SHE’S CARRYING ME BACK TO TENNESSEE
I GOT THE TICKET RIGHT HERE IN MY JEANS,
THERE MY SWEETHEART’S WAITING BY THE RAILROAD STATION,
I GOT A YEN TO SEE HER SMILE,
I’M ON THE 10:38 DOWN TO TENNESSEE,
AND I’M TRAVELING IN STYLE.

 THE TRAIN-BELL’S RINGING AND MY HEART IS SINGING,
NEVER KNEW I COULD FEEL THIS WAY,
 SHE’S A-ROCKING SHE’S A-ROLLING, GOT A HALF A TON OF COAL IN
AND THE SPARKS ARE COMING UP IN A SPRAY, 
SHE’S BURNING UP THE TRACK, AND TAKING ME BACK 
I’LL BE THERE IN EIGHT MORE MILES,
I’M ON THE 10:38 DOWN TO TENNESSEE
AND I’M TRAVELING IN STYLE

IN THIS TWO SEATER THERE’S A SENORITA
WHO SAYS SHE’D LIKE TO BE MY FRIEND,
BUT I AIN’T GOT TIME ‘CAUSE THE END OF THE LINE
IS RIGHT AROUND THE VERY NEXT BEND,
NOW I’M DONE ROAMIN’ AND I’LL BE HOME IN
ONE MORE COUNTRY MILE,
I’M ON THE 10:38 DOWN TO TENNESSEE
AND I’M TRAVELING IN STYLE.
