I wish I was an engineer
Rolling along year after year
I wish I was an engineer
Moaning out my living tears
Somewhere along that line
Between yours and mine
There’s a blues train rolling
Where we were strolling
Seems like it was just yesterday
Wishing I could find it today
I wish I were an engineer
Stoking coal on the blues train
I wish I didn’t live in the fear
Of your subtle, sublime refrain
