I just came in on the midnight special
Well, hey, how about that
My car broke down in Texas
She stopped dead in her tracks

I just called to tell you that I miss you
I Just called to tell you how I feel

'Cause I feel like some old engine
I done lost my drivin' wheel
'Cause I feel like some old engine
I done lost my drivin' wheel

They took my money for a train ride, it was a bad flight
I gave you my promise
That I'd be with you by last Saturday night

I just called to tell you that I need you, baby
I just called to tell you how I feel

'Cause I feel like some old engine
I done lost my drivin' wheel
'Cause I feel like some old engine
I done lost my drivin' wheel

You can't say much in a phone call, you know how that is
I just called to tell you one short something
Now, won't you listen to this?
I just called to tell you that I love you
I just called to tell you how I feel

'Cause I feel like some old engine
I done lost my drivin' wheel
'Cause I feel like some old engine
I done lost my drivin' wheel

'Cause I feel like some old engine
I done lost my drivin' wheel
Yes, I feel like some old engine
I done lost, lost my drivin' wheel
Oh, oh, oh yeah, yeah
