text: 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 nights as black as a crow
  It was a train that took me away from here
  But a train cant 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 Ive 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 cant take me home
  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 Im so sorry for what Ive done
  And Im out here on my own
  Well it was a train that took me away from here
  But a train cant bring me home
  It was a train that took me away from here
  But a train cant bring me home
