Takin' the A Train Lyrics

Takin' the A Train

It's late at night

It's going local

To Fifty-Ninth

And I wish the man with the guitar would stop playing

So I could look at my phone

Maybe then I'd be better to cope

I'm getting much further from home

Takin' the A Train

It's late at night

It's going local

To Fifty-Ninth

And I want to get right out at the platform

And run the rest of the way

But I know I wouldn't make it three blocks before

It would start to rain

I'm takin' the A Train

Takin' the A Train

Takin' the A Train

Alright now, alright now, ah right now

Oh baby

Why'd you gotta call me

You got me out of my bed

And into a train

Humidity is gonna fucking drive me insane

I'm takin' the A Train

I'm takin' the A Train

Oh yeah, it's getting dark

At night

Oh yeah, I'm going straight express to Fifty-Ninth

I'm takin' the A Train

It's late at night

Oh yeah, it's so late

going lo-lo-lo-local to Fifty-Ninth

Oh, how we gotta go
