Train Song

Well I broke down in East St. Louis on the Kansas City line.

Drunk up all my money,that I borrowed every time.

And I fell down at the derby the night's black as a crow.

It was a train that took me away from here.

But a train can't bring me home.

What made my dreams so hollow was standing at the depot.

With a steeple full of swallows that could never ring the bell.

And I've come ten thousand miles away, not one thing to show.

It was a train that took me away from here.

But a train can't bring me home.

I remember when I left without bothering to pack.

Don't you know I up and left with just the clothes I had on my back.

Now I'm sorry for what I've done and I'm out here on my own.

It was a train that took me away from here.

But a train can't bring me home.

It was a train that took me away from here.

But a train can't bring me home.
