Lyrics
(VERSE 1)The ticket for the train is in my pocket
It's still there but the train has left the track
Though I stand here in the rain it doesn't matter
The note she left tells me she won't be back
(CHORUS)
Twin ribbons of steel snaking out to the west
Glowing tracks reflecting the orange sunset
Taking the part of me that was the best
Now it's a ticket in my pocket to loneliness
VERSE 2)Woke up this morning to find I'd lost my bride
Confused and angry I'd made my baby cry
Taking that train had been a dream of ours
Tonight she's all alone in that sleeper car
(CHORUS)
(VERSE 3)Conductor said "I need to punch your ticket"
I sadly smiled as I slowly turned away
There's nothing you can do and I'm through with it
She punched my heart the moment it pulled away.
(CHORUS)
Now it's a ticket in my pocket to loneliness...
