Trying so hard not to cry Since they say man ain't supposed to cry But these tears keep running from my eyes I remember the day I came to the city. My children were crying My wife was crying She's gonna lose me To the girls in the city To make her feel alright I Said it's impossible But I was wrong [Chorus:] Can't blame you when you're going This is something you've got to do You've got to go ho ho. You've been keeping me here all these years as your private lover
Letters came from home But I never answered 'Till today when I got this letter From my little daughter saying "Missing you daddy." It's time to go. [Chorus] See me now, see me no more I heard that whistle blow I knew it's time to go Sitting here in this train Going so fast past the trees I'm thinking of words to apologize 'Cause sorry ain't enough [Chorus: till fade]
