…rides and red-eyes and old broken bones,
And railroad tracks running back home.
Put me on a train back to Texas.
I've been where…
…the highwaymen roam.
Put me on a train back to Texas.
Wake me up when we reach San Antone:
Wake me up when we reach San Antone…
…the seasons are changing,
And I think it's time to move on.
Put me on a train back to Texas.
I've been where the highwaymen roam.
Put me on a train…
…[Chorus 1]
Put me on a train mama
This place just ain't the same no more
Put me on a train mama
I'm leavin' today
I don't wanna…
…watch the world spinnin'
I wanna be spinnin' with it
Put me on a train mama
I'm leavin' today
[Chorus 2]
'Cause I got…
…be mine
[Chorus 1]
Put me on a train mama
'Cause I can't take this pain no more
Put me on a train mama
I'm leavin' today…
…rough rides and red eyes and old broken bones
And railroad tracks running back home
[Chorus:]
Put me on a train back to Texas
I've…
…been where the highwaymen roam
Put me on a train back to Texas
Wake me up when we reach San Antone[x2]
[Verse 2:]
Mamma says…
By The Envy Corps (2007)
On album Dwell (2008)
…this song,
I could have crossed my last rubicon.
But the memories of fantasies of melodies,
They strung me back along.
So, I want out.
Put…
…me on a train, anywhere South.
I want out.
I'm prepared to drink a season of drought.
I'll shake off,
This dense desideratum.
Like…
…
But the memories and fantasies were fallacies,
I'd missed it all along.
So, I want out.
Put me on a train, anywhere South.
I want out.
I'm prepared to drink a season of drought.
…forgive the mistakes that I make
There's a life out there oh, and it's gonna be mine
Oh put me on a train mama
'Cause I'm leavin' today…
…but she had five more
When I was arrested I was dressed in black
They put me on a train and they took me back
Had…
…a ticket Lord put me on a train
Don't matter how I go I'll even walk through the rain
Southland I'm missin' you
Well…
…"
Will someone put me on a train?
I'll never kiss your lips again
or break your heart.
As I say goodbye, I say goodbye,
say goodbye to Ruby's arms.
Pack my bags tonight
Here's one Jacobite
Who must leave or surely die
Put me on a train
In the pouring rain
Say farewell…
…but she had five more
When I was arrested I was dressed in black
They put me on a train and they took me back
Had…
…downtown and dressed me in black
Put me on a train and started me back
All the way back to the thomasville jail
Had…
…but she had five more
When I was arrested, I was dressed in black
They put me on a train and they took me back
I had…
Oh, put me on a train
Put me on a one-way runway sky-high aeroplane
Oh girl, I really need a change, get away, see…
…know life's a bummer baby
But that's got nothing at all
To do with me
I needed a small vacation
So they put me on a train…
…the earth shake
Oh, you just do the same
Know one day the ground will open up
That devil's gonna have your name
Put me on a train…
