Well, you’re talkin’ in your sleep
And the name that you whisper isn’t mine
And I finally face the fact
That you’re cheatin’ on me one more time

And my anger starts to rumble
And my steam starts to rise
And the wheels keep turnin’ faster
As I think of all your lies

Oh, my train of thought’s
Runnin’ right on time
But it’s off the track
And I’m losin’ my mind

For the way you treat me’s
Gonna drive me insane
Honey, say you’ll never leave me
For God’s sake, stop the train

Oh, the camel’s back is broken
By the one extra straw added on
And a man can’t see reason
When his last ray of sunshine is gone

There’s a finger on the trigger
And that locomotive sound
And I think how much I love you
And I turn the gun around

Oh, my train of thought’s
Runnin’ right on time
But it’s off the track
And I’m losin’ my mind

And you hold me the last time
As I try to explain
Honey, don’t feel bad about me
I just have to stop the train

And my anger starts to rumble
And my steam starts to rise
And the wheels keep turnin’ faster
As I think of all your lies

Oh, my train of thought’s
Runnin’ right on time
But it’s off the track
And I’m losin’ my mind

For the way you treat me’s
Gonna drive me insane
Honey, say you’ll never leave me
And stop this train

‘Cause this train of thought’s
Runnin’ right on time
But it’s off the track
And I’m losin’ my mind

And you hold me the last time
As I try to explain
Honey, don’t feel bad about me
I just have to stop the train

Oh, my train of thought’s
Runnin’ right on time
But it’s off the track
And I’m losin’ my mind

For the way you treat me’s
Gonna drive me insane
Honey, say you’ll never leave me
And stop this train
