I was speeding through the dark I didn't know how far It can all run away with you sometimes in an empty box car You were trying to tell me something I wasn't listening to you There was nothing but confusion Every time that train come blowin' through Then you wrote me in a letter I don't how your courage came You told me what you wanted Every word in tears and flame How you loved me more than ever In spite of all the hurt inside And it cracked my heart wide open ‘til there was no place left to hide And I want to thank you babe For letting me back in I want to thank you For asking me to love you again I want to thank you babe For letting me back in I want to thank you For asking me to love you again I'd forgotten how to be patient I'd forgotten how to caress I'd forgotten how to ask for help And how to struggle for my best I was harder than those iron wheels Rollin' down the track And every trip I took I never looked To getting any feelin' back And I want to thank you babe For letting me back in I want to thank you For asking me to love you again I want to thank you babe For letting me back in I want to thank you For asking me to love you again Then you met me at the station With a promise and a kiss You said my love for you will always be true But you must remember this Respect me and protect me But don't expect me not to fall And I will do the same for you Until the final call And I want to thank you babe For letting me back in I want to thank you For asking me to love you again I want to thank you babe For letting me back in I want to thank you For asking me to love you again Thank you baby For letting me back in I want to thank you For asking me to love you again
