Letra de Last train home

(Nanci Griffith)

By the Time I Get to Phoenix
Was the last song on your mind the day you left
You woke up in Nogales
With Tequila with her name across your chest

You´ve stumbled through the morning
In these border tourists´ dusty avenues
Singing Everyday´s The Hurting Kind
And everyday you live, you´re Born to Lose.

(chorus) You missed the last train home
The whistle blew and now she´s gone
West Texas dust beneath your nails
You´re hammered down the heartbreak trail
And you´ve missed the last train home
That whistle blew?she´s solid gone

Now, you´re wandering El Paso
Searching for your broken heart and truth
She was all you ever had
And the only thing you ever had to lose

With a juke box playing Charlie Rich
You´re lining up your shots at half past noon
You threw your ring across the bar
And sang along to Good Time Charlie´s Got the Blues

(chorus)

Now don´t go to Tulsa where she´s bound
You´ll end up six feet underground
Your ex-friend, Charlie´s there abouts
He never missed the last train out

You missed the last train home
That whistle blew?she´s solid gone

You missed the last train home
That whistle blew?she´s solid gone
