John Hiatt
I found this guy by accident when searching thru my local library. Probably what attracted me first was the name “muddy waters” in the CD title. Lol Anyway – I took it home and played it and instantly fell in love with the wonderful combination of acoustic guitar, mandolin and electric slide – Hiatt’s voice seems to blend so well with these. In his time Hiatt has brought out about 17 albums and many artists have covered his numbers but he also has had some great people play along side of him….. Sonny Landreth, and one of my favourites, Ry Cooder, to name just two.

What I feel
is like an old freight train
Five miles long in the pouring rain
Rolling out of Detroit loaded up with shiny cars
And I'm sitting in a Cadillac smoking on a big cigar
What I feel's like an engine room
Open it up and smell the perfume
I love that diesel burning up the atmosphere
When you hear me blow well honey baby know I'm here
CHORUS:
Well I'm going down to Lincoln town
Turn your pretty little head around
Take the next train outward bound
Carry you out of Lincoln town
Well babe
you know my home is with you
There ain't no town or city will do
I need a rolling partner carrying me down the line
and I'm a-comin' into Lincoln town baby right on time
Well love is like an automobile
or maybe a freight train dependin' on how you feel
Big wheels rolling listen to that engine whine
Well rubber or steel honey baby I don't mind
CHORUS
When you see
that old black smoke
You know it's time to pack you a coat
Meet me at the station about a quarter to nine
You can ride in my Cadillac honey you can ride the blinds
CHORUS TWICE
