Last Train - Abigail Washburn

Rails don’t run in circles

Like this gun they only shoot straight

Can’t stop trying to bend the ground I’ve covered now

And the clock ticks louder when I try to slow it down

None can judge the things I’ve done here

I done what I had to do and just a little bit more

Rows of faces who could never see me anyhow

I hitch to Juno ‘fore they figure it out

Can’t you hear

That last train come rolling

Come to carry

Old days away

Can’t you hear the hard times and hard times

Slipping away

Sideways rain won’t hurt you

Like memories it only sharpens time

He had the lost look of an angel in a broken town

And I could just as well have thought to never come around

Love didn’t have it in her

Dark and heavy like a twisted child

Spilt the waters of a rough and trashed out sea

Left me running down the frontage road off highway 3

Can’t you hear

That last train come rolling

Come to carry

Old days away

Can’t you hear the hard times and hard times

Slipping away

Can’t you hear

That last train come rolling

Come to carry

Old days away

Can’t you hear the hard times and hard times

Slipping away

People lie for a reason

Like the law they make up your mind

Police never found me when I needed ‘em anyhow

And I sure don’t need ‘em now
