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.
