Sam's leaving on a midnight train Holes in his shoes Holes in his brain Holes in his pocket where the money goes through What an excuse to leave a one way ticket too Sam's leaving town, Sam's leaving town Sam's leaving town, Sam's leaving town He lost control He tried to live his own rock and roll But after many years he lost his self control Every band rehearsed a tune out into a big fight Now be smart Sam, turn on your light Sam's leaving town, Sam's leaving town Sam's leaving town, Sam's leaving town He lost control He's got friends, can you call them friends? He's got a home, can you call it a home? No real love only one night stands Is that what you call rock and roll? Oh rock and roll! Oh no So now Sam's leaving on a midnight train Druggy coke do they bring him again (! ) Boards the train to nowhere land A final stop and stop at the end Sam's leaving town, Sam's leaving town Sam's leaving town, Sam's leaving town Sam's leaving town, Sam's leaving town Sam's leaving town, Sam's leaving town*
