Train Song Lyrics - Franks Wild Years - Tom Waits

Well I broke down in East St. Louis 

On the Kansas City line 

I drunk up all my money 

That I borrowed every time 

And I fell down at the derby 

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 

I was standing at the depot 

A steeple full of swallows 

That could never ring the bell 

And I come ten thousand miles away 

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
