Nanci Griffith - Last Train Home Lyrics
By the Time I Get to PhoenixWas the last song on your mind the day you leftYou woke up in NogalesWith Tequila with her name across your chestYou've stumbled through the morningIn these border tourists' dusty avenuesSinging Everyday's The Hurting KindAnd everyday you live, you're Born to Lose.(chorus) You missed the last train homeThe whistle blew and now she's goneWest Texas dust beneath your nailsYou're hammered down the heartbreak trailAnd you've missed the last train homeThat whistle blew…she's solid goneNow, you're wandering El PasoSearching for your broken heart and truthShe was all you ever hadAnd the only thing you ever had to loseWith a juke box playing Charlie RichYou're lining up your shots at half past noonYou threw your ring across the barAnd sang along to Good Time Charlie's Got the Blues(chorus)Now don't go to Tulsa where she's boundYou'll end up six feet undergroundYour ex-friend, Charlie's there aboutsHe never missed the last train outYou missed the last train homeThat whistle blew…she's solid goneYou missed the last train homeThat whistle blew…she's solid gone
