LEAVING TRAIN © 2007 Butler/Shaffer, Gekko/Lotnob Music

Sitting down at the edge of the bar
His elbows up, he’d been working real hard
Another day in the slaughter house
Wondering if he would ever get out
Oh ho, wanna go

You know he got lucky at the high school prom
Everybody knows those days are gone
Now he’s somebody’s daddy, got to pay the bills
He’d like to take a chance but he never will
Oh ho, wanna go

If you take a ride on the leaving train
You can’t ride back, once you break the chain

There’s little Judy sitting next to him
She’s got nothing to lose, and everything to win
She’d like to break away and take that run
She says come along we can have some fun
Oh ho, wanna go

If you take a ride on the leaving train
All your life will not be the same
If you take a ride on that leaving train
You can’t ride back, once you break the chain

Open road or the same old grind
Which one does he leave behind
He’d like to take her hand and make that move
Deep inside he’s got too much to lose
Oh ho, wanna go

If you take a ride on that leaving train
All your life will not be the same
If you take a ride on that leaving train
You can’t go back, once you break the chain
