Engine driver take me home,
keep that engine whistle blowin'
I've got a woman waitin' there for me,
so keep this diesel goin'
Drive a little faster
Sunflowers everywhere,
rainbows and raven hair
Somehow the birds know love is in the air
So keep this train in motion,
I got no time to lose
Cause I sent my baby girl a wire,
saying I'd be on the
Northwest
Mail
So set these engine wheels afire,
set these engine wheels afire
Engine driver, take me home
You know I hate to be alone
The clover is green and
growin' in the sun
And I've gotta be there
travelin' days of dawn
Yes, I sent my baby girl a wire
Sayin' I'd be on the
Northwest
Mail
So set these engine wheels afire,
yeah, yeah, yeah
Set these engine wheels afire,
yeah, yeah,
Yes, I sent my baby girl a wire
Sayin' I'd be on the
Northwest
Mail
So set these engine wheels afire
Set these engine wheels afire
Yes, I sent my baby girl a wire
Sayin' I'd be on the
Northwest
Mail
Yes, I sent my baby girl a wire
Take an I .D. on the
Northwest
Mail
Guess I sent my baby girl a wire
Take an I .D. on the
Northwest
Mail
Guess I sent my baby girl a wire
