Train Left An Hour Ago

( listen)

You’re asking too many questions about how I feel
Let me alone before I lose my nerve
Two thirds asleep with nothing left to conceal
No matter where I travel
It’s God and you I serve

and I’m already gone
train left an hour ago
and I’m already gone
and I’m almost home

Ticket agent even rolled his window down
he said, “you’ve got the symptom
and I’ve got the cure”
he said, “ tell me what you need
and I’ll tell you what town
we’re all strangers here
we don’t live long enough to be more”

and I’m already gone...

Saw a shepard tending a flock of fools
Went down to the river where I laid my head
Passed the barroom where they still play the blues
and I breathed the locomotive air
til my eyes turned red

and I’m already gone.....
