The Blues Took the Last Train

She left on the four-fifteen. Took the noise with her.

Verse 1 Station bench got my name on the wood I sat there longer than the porter could Watched her wave like the last good thing Then the rail just rang and the rail just rang Conductor punched a hole through my whole damn day She bought a ticket she didn't have to pay You don't lose love at a checkout line You lose it at a window with a one-way sign

Chorus The blues took the last train Didn't even send a postcard The track is humming with her name And my whole life caught the next one harder

Verse 2 Walked the rails for an hour straight Counting ties like a man counts mistakes A crow on a wire told me the news Said son, that's how a man gets the blues You sit too long where the love just stood Pretty soon it's a smell in the wood Pretty soon it's a habit you can't shake And every train comes wearing her face

Chorus The blues took the last train Didn't even send a postcard The track is humming with her name And my whole life caught the next one harder

Bridge There's a freight at two Headed somewhere through I might just stand here Till the dawn comes blue The blues took the last train Didn't even send a postcard The track is humming with her name And my whole life caught the next one harder

Outro The next one harder
