Lyrics

[Verse 1] I broke down in East St. Louis, the Kansas City line Drunk up all of my money that I borrowed every time And I fell down at the Derby, the night's as black as a crow It was a train that took me away from here, but a train can't bring me home [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] I remember when I left without bothering to pack Don't you know I'vе left with just the clothes I had on my back Now I'm so sorry for what I'vе 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 [Outro] It was a train that took me away from here, but a train can't bring me home
