Train Song

Well i broke down in e. st. louis

On the kansas city line

And i drunk up all my money

That i borrowed every time

And i fell down at the derby

And now 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 come ten thousand miles away

With not one thing to show

Well 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

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

Well it was a train that took me away from

Here but a train can't bring me home
