Lyrics

You put me on a train that night
Cryin' in the station light
Beggin' me to change my mind
Think of all I'd leave behind

Tasted kisses warm and sweet
Felt you love me strong and deep
Knew I was a fool to go
I just let that whistle blow

The last night with you
The last night with you
The night that haunts me every day
The night I let you slip away

Never was the stayin' kind
You were gold and I was blind
Now this endless, empty road
Is all I've got to have and hold

The last night with you
The last night with you
The night that haunts me every day
The night I let you slip away

(Solo)

Every dream I'm on that train
I still hear you call my name

The last night with you
The last night with you
The night that haunts me every day
The price I know I'll always pay
The night I let you slip away
