Nanci Griffith - Last Train Home lyrics
[Nanci Griffith - Last Train Home lyrics]
Was the last song on your
Mind the day you left you woke up in Nogales
With Tequila with her name across your chest
You've stumbled through the morning
In these border tourists' dusty avenues
Singing Everyday's The Hurting Kind
And everyday you live, you're Born to Lose
You missed the last train home
The whistle blew and now she's gone
West Texas dust beneath your nails
You're hammered down the heartbreak trail
And you've missed the last train home
That whistle blew…she's solid gone
Now, you're wandering El Paso
Searching for your broken heart and truth
She was all you ever had
And the only thing you ever had to lose
With a juke box playing Charlie Rich
You're lining up your shots at half past noon
You threw your ring across the bar
And sang along to Good Time
Charlie's Got the Blues
Now don't go to Tulsa where she's bound
You'll end up six feet underground
Your ex-friend, Charlie's there abouts
He never missed the last train out
You missed the last train home
That whistle blew…she's solid gone
You missed the last train home
That whistle blew…she's solid gone
