Lyrics

Looking out my window
I see my world has changed
Sun won't rise this morning
'Cause baby's gone away
Yesterday I could tell myself
That he'd be back for sure
But that train don't stop here anymore
Anymore, anymore, anymore
He used to go out with the boys
Every now and then
He'd always come home early
And we'd jump in bed by ten
He'd tell me that he loved me
And would forevermore
But that train don't stop here anymore
Anymore, anymore, anymore
Nothing changes faster
Than baby's fickle mind
I know he's loving someone else
Somewhere down the line
I know that he still has the key
So I'm waiting by the door
But that train don't stop here anymore
Anymore, anymore, anymore
He ran out my back door
And screamed into the night
He said I was the devil
'Cause I wouldn't treat him right
The man at the station told me
That was him for sure
But that train don't stop here anymore
Anymore, don't stop no more
Did you see him leave?
I hope he had a suitcase
'Cause he got a one-way ticket
I ask the conductor don't even slow down
When he gets to this stop
'Cause there ain't nothing back here for him
Wherever it is down the track he's sleeping
I should hope they got a warm pillow and a blanket tonight
'Cause he's really gonna need it
I don't care
A train, coal train, soul train, slow train
Any train, take him out of here
I'm so sick and tired of him playing me for a fool
I don't know what he thinks happened
When he gets to this station
Nothing but an idiotic individual
Every time they meet him now
This story is running cold
I have heard this too many times
This doesn't really make sense
You know, he insults my intelligence
I'll get up there and drive the damn train myself
To take him out of here
Wherever it is he wants to go
Use my credit card
He ain't got no ticket?
I'll pay for it the next time you come through
But don't slow down, conductor
Hit the whistle, 'cause I'm telling you
I don't want this man to get off the train here
In fact, I've already recruited somebody to take his place
Don't let him off
He's a troublemaker
Don't do it, don't do it
What's your next stop?
Can I pay you?
Don't stop, just keep on through when you get there
It's just a little stop that ain't all that important
I doubt seriously there's anybody there to get on
Just take this man wherever it is that you're gonna take him
To the end of the line
However far that is, thank you very much
And you, on your way back, you can stop there
If you ain't got nothing else to do
You ain't bad, look at yourself
There's a little empty space here now
You know what I mean?
We can talk about it
I might get on the train and go with you
To the other end of the line
That is, depending on how strong a line you got
Come on now
You know, but
What you gonna say?
Oh, that's nice, thank you
Oh, darling
When you come back, blow the whistle
I'll be standing by the track
I got something to talk to you about, baby
You ain't heard no story 'til you hear mine
You know what?
I'll sing
I'll put you on Muzak
You want a little good voice on there?
People need something nice to listen to
I can sing a little bit
Ooh, night train
Coal train, baby
Slow train, soul train
Just put this man on any train
Get him out of here
No-good thing
Take him out of here
Caboose, put him on the caboose
Tail end of the train, I don't care where he is
Just don't, don't slow down
For goodness sake, don't slow down
Whew, I'm feeling better already
Blow the whistle
Keep on by, baby
I'll catch you on your way back
Round trip, I'll pay for the ticket like I told you
You can trust me
Just take that man with you wherever you go
Take him out of here
Train don't need to stop here no more
Bye, see you
