2:10 Train - Steve Gillette

Well, I woke up this morning,

And the sun refused to shine

I knew my baby’d left me

With a troublin' mind

It rains every morning,

And evening is the same

And it’s gonna be a long time,

'Til I hear the 2:10 train

Well, I looked out my window,

And I couldn’t keep from cryin'

I saw the train a leaving'

Take my baby down the line

The driver on that engine,

He ain’t no friend of mine

He’s taken all the women,

And he’s left the men behind

Well, now he won’t be leaving Big Ben,

For another seven years

I’m gonna find another, baby

To laugh away my tears

When I get back to Houston,

I’m gonna shout and tell

'Bout how the Big Ben bought 'em,

It’s a living burning hell

When your lovin' baby leaves you,

Don’t It makes you feel so bad

Makes you think about the women

And the good times you had

Don’t leave me down here, baby

All Shackled to a chain

Let me ride down with you

Along the 2:10 train

Won’t you let me ride down with you

Along the 2:10 train
