Last Train Home Lyrics

Artist: Nanci Griffith
Album: Hearts in Mind

By the Time I Get to Phoenix
Was the last song on your mind the day you left
You woke up in Nogales
With Tequila with her name across your chest

Youâ‚¬â„¢ve stumbled through the morning
In these border touristsâ‚¬â„¢ dusty avenues
Singing Everydayâ‚¬â„¢s The Hurting Kind
And everyday you live, youâ‚¬â„¢re Born to Lose.

(chorus)
You missed the last train home
The whistle blew and now sheâ‚¬â„¢s gone
West Texas dust beneath your nails
Youâ‚¬â„¢re hammered down the heartbreak trail
And youâ‚¬â„¢ve missed the last train home
That whistle blewâ‚¬sheâ‚¬â„¢s solid gone

Now, youâ‚¬â„¢re wandering El Paso
Searching for your broken heart and truth
She was all you ever had
And the only thing you ever had to lose

With a juke box playing Charlie Rich
Youâ‚¬â„¢re lining up your shots at half past noon
You threw your ring across the bar
And sang along to Good Time Charlieâ‚¬â„¢s Got the Blues

(chorus)

Now donâ‚¬â„¢t go to Tulsa where sheâ‚¬â„¢s bound
Youâ‚¬â„¢ll end up six feet underground
Your ex-friend, Charlieâ‚¬â„¢s there abouts
He never missed the last train out

You missed the last train home
That whistle blewâ‚¬sheâ‚¬â„¢s solid gone

You missed the last train home
That whistle blewâ‚¬sheâ‚¬â„¢s solid gone
