The Goodbye Train

Words and Music by Richard Melvin Brown (SOCAN)

Verse 1

Well here I go again and I’m rollin’ away
I swear I hear her callin’ out my name
But it’s written in the cards when your numbers up move on
Cause somehow things just never stay the same
She ain’t done nothin’ wrong it’s just time for movin’ on
What’s a ramblin’ man supposed to do
Yes once again I find I’m in a leavin’ state of mind
With a one way ticket on The Goodbye Train

Verse 2

Well darlin’ don’t be sad it ain’t that bad
You’re better off without this ramblin’ boy
Life is just a stage and we had our parts to play
And now it’s time to roll the curtain down
So chase away your fears and wipe away your tears
It ain’t your fault I’m bound for movin’ on
It’s just once again I find I’m in a leavin’ state of mind
With a one way ticket on The Goodbye Train

Chorus:

GOODBYE TRAIN TAKE ME FAR FAR AWAY
MOVE THIS LOCOMOTIVE DOWN THE LINE
GOODBYE TRAIN TAKE ME FAR FAR AWAY
AND POUR ME ANOTHER GLASS OF WINE
GOODBYE TRAIN TAKE ME FAR FAR AWAY
BEFORE HER MEMORY TURNS MY HEAD AROUND
YES ONCE AGAIN I FIND I’M IN A LEAVIN’ STATE OF MIND
WITH A ONE WAY TICKET ON THE GOODBYE TRAIN

Verse 3

Well if I was to stay I know she’d find a way
To make an honest man out of me
She’s better off without me can’t you see
I’m a two-timin’ no good ramblin’ boy
So thank your lucky stars it hasn’t gone too far
And it’s time for this ole boy to move along
Yes once again I find I’m in a leavin state of mind
With a one way ticket on The Goodbye Train

REPEAT CHORUS twice and fade
