Lyrics
Called out baby
A thousand times or more
Sang like a lady
Talked like a slamming door
Then wheels just kept turning
'Til they hit the coast
Two thousand miles of warning
To wash up on the shore
Gone
And on that last cigarette
Still ain't bothered yet to call
Gone
On that west train went
And may never get home
Always one eye opened
And one hand on the wheel
Too tired for thinking
Only the wind will tell
Them wheels just kept on turning
No regard for the rail
Two flashing lights were warning
This is gonna be the day
Gone
And on that last cigarette
Feeling born and meant to fall
Gone
And when that west train went
To the water leapt, for home
Kept calling out baby
Four hundred ninety more
A million miles escaping
Never even got me close
Never even got me close
