Make This Train

(album: Here I Am - 1967)

Down there at the station
Left a girl with eyes a blue
Told her I was leaving
Gonna find somebody new

I bought a one way ticket
That's the one I could afford
Then all at once I woke up
When I heard that "All aboard"

Conductor please
Stop this train
I know I've been wrong

Make this train jump the track, twist around
Get on the other track that's headed back to you
Now I've learned my lesson
And I'll never make that same mistake again

As the train goes faster
My poor heart is keeping time
Headed for the city
In my pockets not a dime

I thought I was a big man
But right now I must confess
Wish you would have stoped me
When I boarded this express

Conductor please
Stop this train
Give me one more chance

Make this train jump the track, twist around
Get on the other track that's headed back to you
Now I've learned my lesson
And I'll never make that same mistake again

Got a funny feeling
If I ever get back home
That she won't forgive me
And I'll be there all alone

I sure have learned my lesson
And I'll never roam no more
And I would give the world
If I could be outside the door

Conductor please
Stop this train
Before it's too late

Make this train jump the track, twist around
Get on the other track that's headed back to you
Now I've learned my lesson
And I'll never make that same mistake again

Make this train jump the track, twist around
Get on the other track that's headed back
Get the train off the track, twist it back
