Tom Waits - Train Song (Original) lyrics

Well I broke down in E. St. Louis On the Kansas City line And I drunk up all of my money That I borrowed every time And I fell down at the derby And now the night's black as a crow It was a train that took me away from here But a train can't bring me home What made my dreams so hollow Was standing at the depot With a steeple full of swallows That could never ring the bell And I come ten thousand miles away With not one thing to show Well it was a train that took me away from here But a train can't take me home I remember when I left Without bothering to pack You know I up and left, with Just the clothes I had on my back Now I'm so sorry for what I've done And I'm out here on my own Well it was a train that took me away from Here but a train can't bring me home
