Shoulda Took That Train Songtext
von Bradley Walker

I was standing at the station with a suitcase in my hand
She was barely seventeen, I wasn′t quite a man
Porter hollered, "All aboard, take those tickets please"
I kissed her for the last time and then she turned to leave

Lord, I should have took that train
It ain't never rolling down this track again
I hear the lonesome moan of a train that′s dead and gone
Lord, I should have took that train
Lord, I should have took that train


Well, that train quit rolling through here about 1969
Late, low, lonely, I still hear that whistle whine
Well, I only bought one ticket and I never left this town
It's ripped and torn in places but I still keep it around

Lord, I should have took that train
It ain't never rolling down this track again
I hear the lonesome moan of a train that′s dead and gone
Lord, I should have took that train
Lord, I should have took that train

It ain′t never rolling down this track again
I hear the lonesome moan of a train that's dead and gone
Lord, I should have took that train

Lord, I should have took that train
Lord, I should have took that train

Lord, I should have took that train


In the still of the night
I hear the lonesome whistle blowing
