I'm on the world's last steam train
Watchin' another life go by
got tongue -tied gun shy stand
trying not to say goodbye
I want to press my silver cross
Passin' through a ghost town
Till the whistle stops blowin'
and the snowcaps disappear
Baby, all these empty boxcars
I wanna get off of this God -forsaken train
Well, I'm thinkin' about you all the way
from Brownsville to Laredo
Bought a round -trip ticket
I'm countin' all the tracks
till I get off of the train
Between your long black hair
and your pretty dark eyes
I hope it doesn't fade away
like the frost on the windowpane
I want to come back to the roses in your name
Got me feelin' kinda lovesick
lookin' like a train wreck
Listenin' to the engine moan
I'm lookin' for a rainbow
Had my arms wrapped around you
It was almost all night long
I'd give a thousand Hail Marys
Just to figure out what went wrong
from Brownsville to Laredo
bought a round -trip ticket
I'm countin' all the tracks
till I get off of the train
between your long black hair
and your pretty dark eyes
It's probably gon na fade away
like the frost on the windowpane
I wanna come back to the roses
I want to come back to the
On the world's last steam train
got tongue -tied gun shy stand
trying not to say goodbye
to the secrets in your bedroom that you told.
I want to press my silver cross
