I'd give up wordly ambition I'd give up my wordly ways. And I took my trust in Jesus I know he'll take me all the way. I'll go all the way with Jesus all the way to heaven's door.
I'm gonna buy me a great long ticket gonna leave on the midnight train. And I don't care about the destination just as long as I leave today. Gonna pack all of my belongings gonna take everything I own.
[ Doyle Holly ]. After you leave me after you're gone I'll sit here crying so blue and alone. And when the door closes I'll close my heart too after you leave me what will I do.
I've been all over the world but no other girl ever thrilled me the way that you do. Ain't it amazing how I love you. Well I left my Gracie and I cought a big train searching for wealth and fame.
I don't want to see you peeking through my window. I don't want to hear you call me on the phone. I don't want to hear you knocking on my door babe. Adiós, farewell, goodbye, good luck, so long..
It's time to leave so let me go I've just been wasting time. I'll call you in a year or so if I can spare a dime. We couldn't change the bad to good the good Lord knows we tried.
For a while I was happy for a while I had you. The thought never once crossed my mind. But you walked away with the only world I knew. And leave just a mem'ry behind.
