Sam's  leavin' on a midnight  train
 Holes in is shoes, holes  in his brain
 Holes in his hand where the money  goes through
 But an excuse to leave an a one-way ticket  too
 Sam's  leavin' town,  Sam's leavin' town
 Sam's  leavin' town,  Sam's leavin' town
 He  lost control
 He tried to live his own rock 'n roll
 But after many years he lost his self-control
 Every band rehearsal turned out into a big fight
 Now be smart, Sam, turn on you light
 Sam's leavin' town, Sam's leavin' town (2x)
 He lost control
  He's  got friends
  Can you call them friends?
 Got a home
  Can you call it a ho-o-ome
 I know you love  only one-night stands
 Is that what you call  rock 'n roll
  Oh rock 'n roll
  Oh no
 So now, Sam's leavin' on a midnight train
 Drunk and coked to the brim again
 Boards the train to nowhere land
 The final stop, the start of the end
 Sam's  leavin' town,  Sam's leavin' town  (3x)
 Sam's  leavin' town,  Sam's leavin' town
