Twenty Five To Midnight Lyrics

Train I ride don't be slow
If your whistle can blow
Fifteen miles down the track
Tell them I'm comming back
Counting poles counting sheep
Don't be slow I won't weep
If your wheels on the line
were to put me on time

Just a year to the day
Since I went upon my way
to seek my fotune and fame
Be a star change my name
And that's it more or less
Till this midnight express
I know I can't be late
Cause she said she won't wait
She'll just go marry Jack
So there's no turning back
And it's 25 to midnight and 15 miles of track.

Bend I had got a break
Just one chance we had to take
Told my girl I'll be back
Left her with my friend Jack
New York city for a spell
Things did'nt turn out so well
Every dive that we played
We where lucky we got paid

Mr . train driver please
If your speed you increase
Every cent I have now
Will be yours this I vow
And that's it more or less
Till this midnight express
I know I can't be late
Cause she said she won't wait
She'll just go marry Jack
So there's no turning back
And it's 25 to midnight and 15 miles of track

We called ourselves the latino lovers
Hawaiian shirts and top 40 covers
I did't think I could sink this low
When drugs and booze ate all my dough
This is'nt how it was meant to be
There's no such a thing as a meal that's free
If I was ever to get out alive 
I have to get home on time.

Train I ride don't be slow
If your whistle can't blow
Fifty miles down the track
Tell them I'm comming back
And that's it more or less
Till this midnight express
I know I can't be late
Cause she said she won't wait
She'll just go marry Jack
So there's no turning back
And it's 25 to midnight 15 miles of track
and it's 25 to midnight 15 miles of track.
