The Train Songtext
von Betty Wright

Sorry that the train has
Pulled off from the station
And it′s gon' be leavin′ you
Choo-choo train has
Pulled off from the station
And it's gon' be leavin′ you

I have loved you for most of my life
There is nothin′ I wanted more than to be your wife
I would lie about it, cry about it
Told myself I would die without it
And you know
I considered it all, uh

Sorry that the train has
Pulled off from the station
And it's gon′ be leavin' you
Choo-choo train has
Pulled off from the station
And it′s gon' be leavin′ you


I always thought that we would be together
Even the times when it would be bad
You know it always seem to get better
And all of my friends they just couldn't fathom
All of my friends say, "Betty, what happened?"
Frustrated by waiting, oh
Do you remember at all, oh

Sorry that the train has
Pulled off from the station
And it's gon′ be leavin′ you
Choo-choo train has
Pulled off from the station
And it's gon′ be leavin' you

See, our promises swept away by the fears
Of what our tomorrow′s could bring
Well, it might be my pride, what I'm feeling inside
I can′t swim in a river of tears

I'm sorry that the train has
Pulled off from the station
And it's gon′ be leavin′ you
Choo-choo train has
Pulled off from the station
And it's gon′ be leavin' you


Sorry that the train has
Pulled off from the station
And it′s gon' be leavin′ you
Choo-choo train has
Pulled off from the station
And it's gon' be leavin′ you

You gon′ be running behind
You gon' be falling down on the ground
Stumbling and fumbling, oh-oh
You gon′ be running on the tracks
But I ain't never, never, never, never, ever
Never, never, never, ever, never coming back

Sorry that the train has
Pulled off from the station
And it′s gon' be leavin′ you
Choo-choo train has
Pulled off from the station
And it's gon' be leavin′ you

The train has
Pulled off from the station
And it′s gon' be leavin′ you
Train has
Pulled off from the station
And it's gon′ be leavin' you
