The Last Train Out of Town

[Verse 1] I came home late on a Friday night, Street was empty, porch light burned bright, Your old blue dress was hanging by the door, But you weren't there no more. I found your letter on the kitchen table, Said you tried loving me, but you weren't able, You took your suitcase and your dreams downtown, Caught the last train out of town. [Chorus] Now I'm sitting here with this broken heart, Trying to figure out where I fell apart, The whiskey talks but it don't know how, To bring back the woman who left me now. Yeah, the blues got a hold of me, Since that last train rolled away from me. [Verse 2] I walked past the diner where we used to meet, Two empty chairs and a cracked sidewalk street, The jukebox played our favorite song, But the words felt like they all went wrong. I asked the waitress if she'd seen your face, She shook her head and cleaned the same old place, Said, "Some folks leave and they don't turn around, Some hearts get lost when the train leaves town." [Chorus] Now I'm sitting here with this broken heart, Trying to figure out where I fell apart, The whiskey talks but it don't know how, To bring back the woman who left me now. Yeah, the blues got a hold of me, Since that last train rolled away from me. [Bridge] Maybe I was too proud, maybe I was blind, Maybe I wasted all that good love of mine, Ain't no fixing what the past tore down, When you're the only one still hanging around. [Verse 3] The sun came up but it felt like night, I packed my bags and turned off the light, I left that house where we lost our way, Chasing ghosts that I couldn't make stay. [Final Chorus] Now I'm riding with this broken heart, On a different road, a brand-new start, Still hear your voice when the wheels roll slow, Still miss the love I used to know. Yeah, the blues may follow me, But I ain't letting it bury me.
