One Minute You're Here

Big black train comin' down the track

Blow your whistle long and long

One minute you're here

Next minute you're gone

I lay my penny down on the rails

As the summer wind sings its last song

One minute you're here

Next minute you're gone

Baby baby baby

I'm so alone

Baby baby baby

I'm coming home

Autumn carnival on the edge of town

We walk down the midway arm-in-arm

One minute you're here

Next minute you're gone

I thought I knew just who I was

And what I'd do but I was wrong

One minute you're here

Next minute you're gone

Red river running along the edge of town

On the muddy banks I lay my body down, this body down

Footsteps cracklin' on gravel roads

Stars vanish in a sky as black as stone

One minute you're here

Next minute you're gone

One minute you're here

Next minute you're gone

One minute you're here
