Fast Trains To Texas

There?s an old Pullman porter whose fingers shoot lightning,
And he can make fools travel faster than light.
He?d be taking me home on the rails of my memories,
If wishes were fast trains to Texas tonight.
There?s a song on a jukebox somewhere in Uvalde.
I swear I can hear it when the wind blows just right.
And I would dance like a demon in the arms of an angel,
If wishes were fast trains to Texas tonight.
Yes, if dreams and desires could move mighty engines,
And drive locomotives through the fabric of time,
I?d be rolling like thunder into Sweetwater County,
On the 12th of September, 1989.
Instrumental break.
There?s a live oak wind blowing through her bedroom curtains,
While dreams dance around her in the hazy moonlight.
Lord, my kisses would wake her and I?d never forsake her,
If wishes were fast trains to Texas tonight.
If wishes were fast trains ........
God, how I'd lie.
