Well I broke down in E. St. Louis On the Kansas City line And i drunk up all my money That i borrowed every time And i fell down at the derby And now the night's black as a crow It was a train that took me away from here But a train can't 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 i 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 bring 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 i'm 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
