I'm headed south on a railroad train
We're pulling out on time and I'm amazed
Got my window seat I got my magazines
Got everything I need except for you
Remember when we took that train out west
They almost threw us off for acting strange
Made fools of all the porters
We drank booze out of paper cups
You showed me a good time baby
But I never got enough
You showed me a good time darling
But I never got enough
And my heart feels just as caloused
As some old breakmans hands
Been on the job for years
He still don't understand
Why the towns fade away like lovers
His life has let him dowm
You can brake a train you can break a heart
But you never learn to like the sound
I'm sitting all alone in a dining car
I feel like a fool for ordering this meal
It's no fun without you here
I miss your teasing everytime I spill my drink
Were pulling in a station
I wish it was my stop
I'll remeber next time to take the plane
It just ain't the same without you
I was a fool to try now
Now im getting odd looks from a porter
Like he never seen a woman cry
Now im getting odd looks from a porter
Like he never seen a woman cry
And my heart feels just as caloused
As some old breakmans hands
Been on the job for years
He still don't understand
Why the towns fade away like lovers
His life has let him dowm
You can brake a train you can break a heart
But you never learn to like the sound
