I cant keep these notebooks straight since we parted ways.
Lord I write somethin' new every day.
Nights, they ain't so hard for me. I just drink myself to sleep
with some foolish girl who likes the way I sing.
Call me what you will for loving you,
and lying with somebody new
Lord it ain't like your waitin' around for me.
I just say there's a train that leaves at a quarter past three
that I've got a one way ticket to be on.
I can come and stay with you, if you want me to,
but when you wake up in the morning I'll be gone.
I'm on the road these days in a rental car
passing semi's and city fearing stars,
hoping in my heart I'm headed the right way.
I met an English girl at an Irish bar,
said she was learning how to play guitar,
wondered if I'd come and listen at her place.
I said there's a train that leaves at a quarter past three
that I've got a one way ticket to be on.
I can come and stay with you, if you want me to,
but when you wake up in the morning I'll be gone.
I called you this morning at about a quarter till three.
You didn't answer so I left this message on your machine.
There's a train that leaves at a quarter past three
that I've got a one way ticket to be on.
Don't you go wait up for me, no, get yourself some sleep,
but when you wake up in the morning I'll be home.
There's a train that leaves at 3:15
that I've got a one way ticket to be on.
That train it's takin' me to a woman fast asleep
that I should have been sleepin' with all along.
