I Won’t Give Up My Train Merle Haggard Verse 1: I pulled into Memphis thirteen minutes early First time in two weeks. That’s where she came to meet me As I stepped down off 451 and needed sleep. And the baby’s overdo I know she needs some thi..ngs But the more we discuss it it’s the same.. Chorus: Long train rollin’ got a feelin’ that I’m not knowin’ She’s not waitin’ for me. These rails keep getting’ longer And this feelin’s getting’ stronger she won’t let me be I love my woman fire and rain But I won’t give up my train Guitar solo: Verse 2: The Baby came in April and I was in Chicago In the pourin’ rain. With twelve flat cars an empty tanker three box cars and an empty sack of mail. Tho’ I get lonely sometimes I know There’s just no other way to explain… Chorus: Guitar Solo: to end of song

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque les luttes d'un homme entre son amour pour sa compagne et son attachement à sa vie de voyageur, symbolisée par le train. Il fait face à la réalité d'une séparation, ressentant le poids de l'absence tout en étant tiraillé par ses engagements professionnels. Le protagoniste exprime sa nostalgie et son désir de connexion, mais il sait aussi qu'il ne peut pas renoncer à sa passion pour le chemin de fer, malgré la solitude et les sacrifices qu'il implique. Le contexte se situe dans un monde de travail itinérant, où le protagoniste jongle entre ses responsabilités familiales et sa vie de train, accentuant ainsi le dilemme entre l'amour et la liberté.
