LAST TRAIN

Neon lights
Loose exchange leads to a fight
Someone holding on too strong
To their “forever young” ideals
Canʼt get back...
Time spent slippinʼ off a bar stool
Canʼt get back...
Youth wasted in the night

There goes the last train out of town
Why arenʼt you on it?
You say youʼre tired of hanging ʻround
Itʼs time you did something about it

Booze and pills
Your habits become institutions
Had your fill yet–
Will this be your last ride?
Canʼt get back...
Time spent on the bathroom floor
Canʼt get back...
A body buried six feet down

There goes the last train out of town
Why arenʼt you on it?
You say youʼre tired of falling down
Perhaps its time you learn to live without it

Perched up on the shelf
Itʼs hard to see beyond yourself
To all the life below you on the ground

This could be the day
You learn to change those wicked ways
Find a new communion to drink down

There goes the last train out of town
Why arenʼt you on it?
You say youʼre tired of hanging ʻround
Itʼs time you did something about it

There goes the last train out of town
Why arenʼt you on it?
You say youʼre tired of getting stoned
Itʼs time you learned to live without it
