Musicbrainz DBIn 1966 I found my love
In 1967 I had all there was
And as my time went by I was satisfied
Until that situation took me by surprise
Now there's two trains runnin' - on that line
One train's me, and the other's a friend of mine
You know it would be all right, be just fine
If the woman took one train, and left the other behind
Illusion it is just the same conclusion
I don't know how to play the game
Of what it is or how it's going to be
When one train is my friend and the other train is me
Easy, I say easy, I can't push or shove her
So I guess I really care
Now I'm not one to hide my love behind a lock and key
But if things keep going the way they are there's no place left for me
There's two trains runnin' - on that line
One train's me, and the other's a friend of mine
You know it would be all right, be just fine
If the woman took one train, and left the other behind
Two trains, two trains, two trains, two trains

Just no justice in this universe, I tell ya. Sad but true. Still, who's gonna remember Justin Beiber five years from now? (Small consolation, I know, but we must take our silver linings where we find them.) |

| lmic (Harmless Little Bunny) | Posted: Jun 04, 2010 - 10:39 Musically, this would sound good with "Son of a Preacher Man." (Lyrically, it might be a little disjunct  ) |

| chessie (Munich, Germany) | Posted: Mar 01, 2010 - 10:42 The mentioned broadcast in German TV (in the early eighties, I guess) was the first time I saw Little Feat. Didn´t impress me much, though. Only years later I re-discovered them: one of the best bands ever. The albums with Lowell George: simply the very best. |
| (former member) (hotel in Las Vegas) | Posted: Mar 01, 2010 - 10:37 This song is soooo gooood for the ears... |

Man I miss Lowell - top 5 best live shows I ever saw. Mine too! I was lucky enough to see them several times with Lowell. |

| fatcatjb (Sunny Sacramento) | Posted: Mar 25, 2007 - 08:32 Love that smokin hot slide guitar! Little Feat set the bar way way high (I was most of the time, too) |
| bokey (Filialville) | Posted: Mar 09, 2007 - 17:40 Kind of gross lyrics for this day and age although back in those promiscuous days even herpes was a distant rumor. Not that I was promiscuous ,I was 8 the year this song first references. |

The only comment I can give to such an ignorant statement like that is "what an idiot!" First of all, the accordian is "looking outward", so how you can get that it's "peering" in any other direction is just from your own sex-obsessed idiocity. |
