Two Trains Runnin'

Time to give up the
Train women and try driving
A hot car woman.

This is a Muddy Waters song. Here's what's going on:
1. Two trains run in this direction, with one leaving at midnight and the other at dawn. (This is not a math problem)
2. These trains are symbols for women, as you would expect in a blues song. One of these trains appears to be another man's wife.
3. He's going to find another woman who rides like a Cadillac car. Indeed, woman as car. Another blues invention.
4. The woman he's currently with has put him on top of the shelf.
