Locomotive Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm like a locomotive, I don't run out of steam
I'm headed toward the reservoir and I'm gonna need a drink
I ain't no Napa Valley, New York City seems okay
I'm a little bit more Tennessee and there's whiskey in my veins

[Chorus]
I'm sweet tea sippin' on a front porch, sittin'
While my hubby fries chicken and I'm picking these strings
Been down on my luck, but I ain't givin up
Well, I totaled his truck, but he loves me just the same
Mmm, he gives me wings, oh, he gives me wings

[Verse 2]
I ain't no grand piano, I play a little out of tune
I spent all of my glory days in a honky-tonk saloon

[Chorus]
I'm sweet tea sippin' on a front porch, sittin'
While my hubby fries chicken and I'm picking these strings
I've been down on my luck, but I ain't givin' up
Got a heart like a truck, I'm a hummingbird, ready to sing
Mmm, he gives me wings, oh, he gives me wings

[Chorus]
I'm sweet tea sippin' on a front porch, sittin'
While my hubby fries chicken and I'm picking these strings
I've been down on my luck, got a heart like a truck
So I ain't givin' up, I'm a hummingbird, ready to sing
Mmm, he gives me wings, oh, he gives me wings
Oh, he gives me wings, mmm, he gives me wings

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
