Get on the ball, boy
Let's catch that train and get on
Well, he traveled down the highway
Near to nine o'clock
Got his V8 engine
Buzzin' like a hawk
Gotta catch that mail train
Yeah, stay alive
Well, he wrote his baby that time
When he left in Maine
Well, he told his little baby
Don't wanna see you again
Well, he gotta stop that letter
Oh, to catch the train
Gotta beat it to the crossing
'Fore he gets to town
Got to keep his foot now hummin'
Keep it to the ground
Gotta catch that mail train
Oh, flag it down
Wrong, boy
Been screamin' 'round the bend
Oh, since gettin' here
Well, the roar of the engine
Faster than his ear
Well, he ain't gonna make it
