She got up early to board the train, Dragged her bag through the pouring rain And the note said, never again That trains set and bound to go, But I’m five miles from the depot And this race,I’ll never win Shes riding on that train alone It took like she was its own Nothing left now but empty tracks As I stare off down them shiny rails That whistle gives a lonesome wail It’s up to me now, to bring her back Yeah I gotta stop this speeding train Gotta stop this bleeding pain Lord help me if you can Shes got leavin in her head And my heart in her hands Well I guess by now shes outta state And I’m a little bit runnin late I wish I had a faster car If I ever bring her back I’ll dynamite those railroad tracks And never go near another bar Yeah I gotta stop this speeding train.....
