2:10 Train

[Verse 1]
Well, I woke up this mornin', woah-oh-oh
And the sun refused to shine
I knew I'd leave my baby, oh, oh-oh-oh
With a troublin' mind
It rains every mornin', oh-oh
And the evenin' is the same
And it's gonna be a long time, woah-oh-oh
'Til I hear the 2:10 train

[Verse 2]
Well, I looked out my window, oh, oh-oh-oh
And I couldn't keep from cryin'
I knew the old 2:10, oh, oh-oh-oh
Would take me down the line
That driver on that engine, oh-oh
He ain't no friend of mine
He's taken all the women, oh, oh-oh-oh
And he's left the men behind

[Verse 3]
Well now, he won't be leavin' Big Ben, oh, oh-oh-oh
For another seven years
I'm gonna find another baby, oh, oh-oh-oh
To laugh away my tears
When I get back to Houston, woah-oh
I'm gonna shout and tell
Of how the Big Ben brought 'em, oh, oh-oh-oh
With a livin', burnin' hell

[Verse 4]
Now, when your lovin' baby leaves you, woah-oh-oh
Don't you feel so bad?
It makes you think about the good times, woah-oh-oh
With the one-time man you've had
He cried, "Don't leave me here baby-ee
All shackled to a chain
But let me ride down with you, woah-oh-oh
All along the 2:10 train"
