Baby mellow my mind,
Make me feel like a
schoolboy on good time,
Jugglin’ nickels and dimes,
Satisfied with the
fish on the line.

I’ve been down the road
and I’ve come back
Lonesome whistle
on the railroad track
Ain’t got nothing on those
feelings that I had.

Something so hard to find,
A situation that can
casualize your mind.

I’ve been down the road
and I’ve come back
Lonesome whistle
on the railroad track
Ain’t got nothing on those
feelings that I had.

Baby mellow my mind,
Make me feel like a
schoolboy on good time,
Jugglin’ nickels and dimes,
Satisfied with the
fish on the line.
