Make This Train - Johnny Tillotson

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
