Don McLean - You Can't Blame the Train lyrics
[Don McLean - You Can't Blame the Train lyrics]
Well, I got crazy yesterday and
I called her to say
Please baby won’t you come home tonight
I can’t even trust my brain to get
My heart in from the rain
I know that girl’s a hurricane
In her own right
Then early this mornin’ after she was goin’
I sat there in my chair all alone
Well I called my friend cryin’
And asked him why
That girl was always doing me so wrong
He said: "When the gates are all
Down and the signals are flashin’
The whistle is screamin’ in vain
And you stay on the tracks
Ignoring the facts
Well, you can’t blame the wreck on the train
No, you can’t blame the wreck on the train"
Well, how many times have I promised myself
Not to do the same thing as before
I swear I will leave it alone and believe it
Then I’ll turn around and do it some more
Oh, fool me one time and it’s shame on you
Fool me twice and it’s shame on me
That’s what my best friend warned me
When I called him this mornin’
Then he reminded me
He said: "When the gates are all
Down and the signals are flashin’
The whistle is screamin’ in vain
And you stay on the tracks
Ignoring the facts
Well, you can’t blame the wreck on the train
No, you can’t blame the wreck on the train"
He said: "When the gates are all
Down and the signals are flashin’
And the whistle is screamin’ in vain
And you stay on the tracks
Ignoring the facts
Well, you can’t blame the wreck on the train
No, you can’t blame the wreck on the train
Man, you gotta quit blamin’ the train"
I called her to say
Please baby won’t you come home tonight
I can’t even trust my brain to get
My heart in from the rain
I know that girl’s a hurricane
In her own right
Then early this mornin’ after she was goin’
I sat there in my chair all alone
Well I called my friend cryin’
And asked him why
That girl was always doing me so wrong
He said: "When the gates are all
Down and the signals are flashin’
The whistle is screamin’ in vain
And you stay on the tracks
Ignoring the facts
Well, you can’t blame the wreck on the train
No, you can’t blame the wreck on the train"
Well, how many times have I promised myself
Not to do the same thing as before
I swear I will leave it alone and believe it
Then I’ll turn around and do it some more
Oh, fool me one time and it’s shame on you
Fool me twice and it’s shame on me
That’s what my best friend warned me
When I called him this mornin’
Then he reminded me
He said: "When the gates are all
Down and the signals are flashin’
The whistle is screamin’ in vain
And you stay on the tracks
Ignoring the facts
Well, you can’t blame the wreck on the train
No, you can’t blame the wreck on the train"
He said: "When the gates are all
Down and the signals are flashin’
And the whistle is screamin’ in vain
And you stay on the tracks
Ignoring the facts
Well, you can’t blame the wreck on the train
No, you can’t blame the wreck on the train
Man, you gotta quit blamin’ the train"
