The Blues Took the Last Train
TitanChord
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
Timing is estimated — lines are spaced evenly across the track.

Lyrics
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
