Steam Engine Lyrics
Mr. Engineer, slow the engine down some more.
You're movin' just a little too fast,
I've got my foot down clear to the floor.
Steam engine, Engine 99
Steam drivers, rollin' right on by.
Mr. Engineer, you see I've got a little problem here.
My baby, she's aboard your train,
She says she's never comin' back again.
Steam engine, Engine 99
Steam drivers, rollin' right on by.
She told me good bye, she said I'm leavin' you behind.
I think I'm gonna die, if I hear that whistle whine.

You're movin' movin' just a little too fast,

It's pretty straightforward about the meaning. He wants to see his lover again before she leaves him for good and is asking the engineer of this steam engine to slow down to catch up to her.
