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. |
