I lost ten points just for being in the right place
at exactly the wrong time
I looked right at the facts there, but I may as well have
been completely blind
So, if you see me walking all alone
Don’t look back, I’m just on my way back home
there’s a train leaves here this morning, and
I don’t know, what I might be on
She signed me to a contract, baby said it would
all be so life long
I looked around then for a reason
when there wasn’t something more to blame it on
But, if time makes a difference while we’re gone
Tell me now, and I won’t be hanging on
There’s a train leaves here this morning
and I don’t know, what I might be on
ooo, ooo, ooo.. etc…
1320 North Columbus was the address
that I wrote down on my sleeve
I don’t know just what she wanted
might have been that it was getting time to leave
and I watched as the smoker passed it on
and I laughed when the joker said, “Lead on.”
cause there’s a train leaves here this morning
and I don’t know, what I might be on
And there’s train leaves here this morning
and I don’t know, what I might be on
