[Verse 1] I bought a ticket to your town last night One way, no baggage, just the city lights The station man said "Son, there’s no return" But I’ve got miles in my chest that still burn [Verse 2] The train runs slow through the Georgia pines Like it knows I’m chasing borrowed time Your name’s the only stop I want to hear Called out loud when we get near [Pre-Chorus] I’ve been a stranger in a hundred rooms With your goodbye hanging like perfume But if love’s a map, then let this track bend Right to the place where our road begins I bought a ticket to your town, darling No suitcase, no plans, just the sound of your name If you’re still there when the whistle blows I’ll step off slow and never let go[Chorus] [Verse 3] The conductor asked if I knew the way I said "just follow where her laughter plays" He smiled and said "then you’ll know you’re home When the silence sings and you’re not alone" [Pre-Chorus] I’ve been a stranger in a hundred rooms With your goodbye hanging like perfume But if love’s a map, then let this track bend Right to the place where our road begins I bought a ticket to your town, darling No suitcase, no plans, just the sound of your name If you’re still there when the whistle blows I’ll step off slow and never let go[Chorus] **** If your town’s got a street called Yesterday Then tear up the sign and lead me away I don’t need landmarks, I just need you To say this train stops with me and you[Bridge] I bought a ticket to your town, darling I bought a ticket to your town, darling[Final Chorus] So keep the porch light on, I’m almost there My heart’s the luggage that I always wear[Outro]
