Nowherebound Train

Goodbye voices. Goodbye pain.
Goodbye poor choices; and goodbye rain.
I'm tired. I won't ever ride these rails again.
This is the last stop... for this nowherebound train.

Darlin' come meet me at the station;
'cause I don't have enough for payin'
no bus fare, no taxis.
There ain't been much cash to gain.
It's been a long haul, so please pick me up on Main;
'cause this is as far as the line goes...
for this nowherebound train.

I always had a mind for leavin';
but you always stuck around.
And now I think you got me believin'
what you said as I left this town.
You said "Don't get on this train, my love...
... it's nowherebound."

Though I'm here with no possessions;
all I own is my name.
And although I had no friends out there
I've only got myself to blame.
And Baby, believe me, it was thoughts of you
that always kept me sane.
I'm a gunner. I'm a strummer. I'm a midnight runner.
And Babe, you don't know
how glad I am that you came
to meet me as I stepped off for the very last time...
from this nowherebound train.
