Tom Waits — Train Song Big Time

[Verse 1] Well I broke down in East St. Louis On the Kansas City line And I 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 With not one thing to show Well it was a train that took me away from here But a train can't take me home [Verse 3] I remember when I left Without bothering to pack You know I up and left With just the clothes I had on my back Now I'm so sorry for what I've done And I'm out here on my own Well 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
