Train Don't Leave

She's sitting on the train, the train's gonna to leave

Bags in her hand, tears on her sleeve

Banging on the window with all of my might

But she won't look to the left or the right

We had a fight and it wasn't pretty

Now she's leaving, ain't it a pity

Going to wait tables, down in the city

Hold that red light one more minute

6:18's got my baby in it

Train don't leave, heart don't break

Train don't leave, heart don't break

Mister guard, get out of that van

Wave that flag, I'm a lonely man

Mister driver, hand off the throttle

Or I'll shoot my luck, lose my bottle

One more minute, I can talk her right 'round

Get her size sixes back on the ground

Train whistle is a lonely sound

I didn't mean the things I told you

Empty arms waiting to hold you

Train don't leave, heart don't break

Train don't leave, heart don't break

She's getting off the train, she'd mad and sore

She pokes at my nose with the old southpaw

Swings and misses, turns right 'round

I catch her in time and we fall to the ground

She's got tears but she's laughing as well

We kiss like fools, you never can tell

How a little minute can cast its spell

We never want to see this station again

It's a sad old place for lonely men

Train, train, get down the track

Hell, you can leave and never come back
