Lyrics:

[Melvin Gentry]

[Intro]
A long way to go
A long way to go

[Verse 1]
Everyday I've been moving fast
And I don't see how I'm gonna last
Every night I'm on bended knee
I'm trying hard to find a woman
Who means something to me
My intuition tells me 'wait my friend
You see what you seek will come in time
Shouldn't take too long
Keep the feeling strong
Just cause the other one did you wrong
You gotta keep moving on'

[Chorus]
Engine engine no.9
Would you save this broken heart of mine
Engine engine no.9
Heard your whistle blowing just in time

[Verse 2]
All my life is put before me
I'm getting tired of holding on for so long girl
The warning lights and the caution signs
It tells me that love is coming soon
(Gotta save this heart of mine)
[?] ... climb aboard my friend
I've been waiting for you quite some time
Shouldn't take too long
Keep the feeling strong
Just cause the other one did you wrong
You gotta keep moving on'

[Chorus x2]

[Bridge]
I wanna shake it on up
I wanna get it down
[?]I want a chance with you lady tell ya throw it down[?]
Here's my message to you
So get on board
All I want is just some love

[Bridge 2]
Ah such a good girl
So let's get it up
If you're out there listen
Won't you listen up
Talking bout good loving
Baby now comes the best
I'll never break your heart girl
You know the rest

Engine engine no.9

[Chorus]
Engine engine no.9
Would you save this broken heart of mine
(Would you save this love for me)
Engine engine no.9
Heard your whistle blowing just in time
(And I think it was enought to blow your mind yeah)
Engine engine no.9
(You showed me love)
Would you save this broken heart of mine
Engine engine no.9
Heard your whistle blowing just in time
(Makes me wanna sing)
