Well it's so hard to listen to these trains

Outside my window here it comes again

And it's calling me begging me

Follow me down the track

And it moans so dark and low

Baby ain't comin' back

Well I refuse to believe

It could happen to me and you

But it's lonesome and it's hard and it's true

I got this whiskey to take care of my lips

I got these long cool steel strings

At my fingertips

I ain't got nothing, I ain't got nothing

To soothe my aching soul

Except this screeching and screaming iron

To tell me where I ought to go

Well I refuse to believe

It could happen to me and you

But it's lonesome and it's hard... and it's true

And I hear the train sigh

And idle down below

Why your love is so sweet and wild

Is something I'll never know

And it sounds like crying

And it sounds like letting go

Oh, breathing and lying

Sinking and dying slow

And I watch from my window

Touching the cold glass sky

And as the train rolls down the track

I say...

Goodbye

Home, home

You wanna take me home?

Home, home

'Cause I wanna go, I wanna

Wanna, wanna, wanna go home

Home, home, ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-home

I wanna go, I wanna love

Take, take, take, take, take me home

Home, no no no no no no no love

Hey, hey

Please...

(Take me home)

Home, home

No no no no no no no love

No no no, no no no, no no no love

(Home)

Ha hah home, home

Home two three four
