You said: "Yes"

"Bloody fantastic !" I said.
"You and me, we are not dead
Together we'll really start kicking butts"
"We will show them we have the guts"
"Don't try to hold me back
There's nothing that we lack"
"We are on the Midnight Special train,
Which is firmly in the fast lane,
And for Dixie we are bound.
Listen to that whistle sound !
My girl is holding my hand,
We are headed for Dixieland
We don't need any map
With a banjo firmly on our lap,
We are on our way."

Then you went away.

If I seem hostile I am not meaning to be.
I'm just distracted I'm sure that you will see.
I would find it easier to express my goodwill,
If I was not trying to keep a train on the rail,
And steer it safely out of the fast lane
Ignoring the pouring rain.
Trying to steer away from Dixie to North, West or East,
Holding a banjo in my teeth and wishing at least,
That I had gripped my girl by the wrist
Even when her hand was a fist
So she didn't fall off the train.
