You say the time has come for you to go
Why you've decided this, I'll never know
You say you've lost the love you felt for me
Well, baby, you won't find it if you leave

Pardon me, if I don't understand
How a love like ours can turn out bad
You tell me I'll be fine alone
Without the love I'm leaning on
Well, pardon me, if I don't understand

I can't see how you'll be happy far away
But what's best for you is not for me to say
So I'll try to keep my feelings to myself
But forgive me if I don't do too well

Pardon me, if I don't understand
How a love like ours can turn out bad
You tell me I'll be fine alone
Without the love I'm leaning on
Well, pardon me, if I don't understand

You tell me I'll be fine alone
Without the love I'm leaning on
Well, pardon me, if I don't understand

I've been walking these mean streets
Hard concrete beneath my feet
Ain't found a friendly face among the crowd
The city's like a Christmas tree
A light for every dreamer's dream
But it seems mine has finally burned out

Long black train, take me home
I've worn out my welcome here, it's time to go
I have to face the music, this just ain't where I belong
Long black train, take me home

I should've known I was mistaken
When I thought that I'd be making
A name for myself in Babylon
Though I've tried to do my best
The suit and ties are not impressed
So with what's left of my pride, I'll carry on

Long black train, take me home
LyricsI've worn out my welcome here, it's time to go
I have to face the music, this just ain't where I belong
Long black train, take me home

I'm gonna trade my guitar for a ticket
Then climb aboard and ride you down the track
I know I'm licked, but it's hard to admit it
Maybe someday you can bring me back

Long black train, take me home
I've worn out my welcome here, it's time to go
I have to face the music, this just ain't where I belong
Long black train, take me home
Long black train, take me home

Are you going to Alabama
Where the trees grow tall and green
I'd like to see the Gulf of Mexico
If you're going, won't you take me

Are you going to Alabama
Where the skies shine bright and blue
I'd like to see the old Tombigbee
If you're going, I want to go with you

Are you going to Alabama
Where the folks say "how do you do"
I'd like to see those big ol' cotton fields
If you're going, I'm going too

I'm ready to run, baby
Through the sweet southern pines
Lie down in a bed of camellias
And watch the sun shine

If you're going to Alabama
I could use a change of view
But if you're going to California
That's alright, any place will do
Well, I guess I just wanna go with you


. . .



When the quiet in this old house shows no mercy
And the lonesome just won't go away
That's when your restless spirit haunts me
And I swear, I hear you call my name

I always loved the sound of your sweet voice
But now that sounds makes my poor heart break
You're long gone, baby, that's for certain
'Cause I'm a hurtin', when I hear you call my name

I pray when I pass on over
That we will meet in the place where lost souls stay
Maybe then, when I look over my shoulder
You'll be there, when I hear you call my name

I always loved the sound of your sweet voice
But now that sounds makes my poort heart break
You're long gone, baby, that's for certain
'Cause I'm a hurtin', when I hear you call my name
I'm certain, I hear you call my name


. . .



Oh, the one that got away, got away with my heart
Broke into my world and tore it apart
I should pick up the pieces, but I don't know where to start
Oh, the one that got away, got away with my heart

I lost my heart so easily, I feel like a fool
Against my better judgment, I broke my own rule
I didn't think I'd fall in love, but what can I do
Oh, I'm hurting and missing him so

Oh, the one that got away, got away with my heart
Broke into my world and tore it apart
I should pick up the pieces, but I don't know where to start
Oh, the one that got away, got away with my heart

If I felt any better, I think I would die
'Cause all I do is sit at home, think of him, and cry
But he ain't worth a single tear that falls from my eye
So why do I still love him anyway

Oh, the one that got away, got away with my heart
Broke into my world and tore it apart
I should pick up the pieces, but I don't know where to start
Oh, the one that got away, got away with my heart


. . .



I found a letter that you wrote me
It said I was your one and only
And you would never ever leave my loving arms
But the truth is all that matters
Your pretty words no longer flatter
'Cause I know they didn't come from your heart

I found your guitar in the closet
I remember when you bought it
And how you serenaded me under the stars
Now there's no one here to play it
You changed your tune, I hate to say it
But the songs didn't come from your heart

In your heart, I believed I'd found the love of my dreams
I hoped my search was through
But now, all I'm finding are memories that remind me
What a fool I was, to think it was true

I found your ring still on my finger
It's been there since we saw the preacher
And swore to him, in front of God, death do us part
It's just a fourteen-carat trinket
But like my promise, I will keep it
Even though it didn't come from your heart
I found a letter that you wrote me


. . .



I've heard it said
Life leaves you memories that are precious
If that's true, it hasn't left me any yet
There are none that I've thought of I can cherish
For me it's easier to forget

Looking back is not the way to mend my heartache
Remembering only brings me regret
When I dig up the past, I find a love that didn't last
So for me, it's easier to forget

I'd hate to think these memories I've been given
Are the only ones I'm ever gonna get
Cause it hurts if I try to relieve'em
For me it's easier to forget

Looking back is not the way to mend my heartache
Remembering only brings me regret
When I dig up the past, I find a love that didn't last
So for me, it's easier to forget

For me it's easier to forget


. . .



I found your bag this morning
Did you pack it by yourself
If you would've asked me
I'd have given you some help

I hate to disappoint you
But I had a hunch
You would soon be leaving
So I beat you to the punch

I'll tell you a secret, baby, I let go first
If I was still holding on, then maybe I'd feel worse
But I seen this day coming, so it don't bother me
I've already set you free

I'm glad you're finally going
But, boy, you took your time
I'd begun to wonder
If you had changed your mind

So you don't have to sneak out
You're not going to let me down
That's already happened
I'm over it by now

I'll tell you a secret, baby, I let go first
If I was still holding on, then maybe I'd feel worse
But I seen this day coming, so it don't bother me
I've already set you free
I've already set you free


. . .



Daylight has found me here again
You can ask me anything, but where I've been
Things that used to matter seem so small
When you're looking for a soft place to fall

Don't misunderstand me, baby, please
I didn't mean to bring back memories
You should know the reason why I called
I was looking for a soft place to fall

Looking for a soft place
Nothing more than a small taste
Of a love that ended long ago
Looking for a place to hide
A warm bed on a cold night
I didn't mean to hurt you
No, no, no

Looking out your window at the dawn
Baby, when you wake up, I'll be gone
You're the one who taught me after all
How to find a soft place to fall

You're the one who taught me after all
How to find a soft place to fall


. . .


(Walter Hyatt)

Tell me, baby
How long I'm gonna cry
How long I'm gonna sigh for you

Tell me, baby
Do you remember the promises you made me
Rolling down the road, with the sky so blue

I'm grieving for you
Oh, I miss you so
Believe me, darling
Oh, you just don't know
I need you and I want you so

Tell me, baby
What are you gonna do
Someday you'll want me, too, I know

When you want me
You better hope that I don't leave you lonely
Rolling down the road, with no place to go

I'm grieving for you
Oh, I miss you so
Believe me, darling
Oh, you just don't know
I need you and I want you so

Tell me, baby
How long I'm gonna cry
How long I'm gonna sigh for you

Tell me, baby
Do you remember the promises you made me
Rolling down the road, with the sky so blue
Rolling down the road, with the sky so blue

. . .



Heard the preacher at the service
Declare you'd gone home that day
To meet the Maker and His servants
And take a rest amidst His grace

He said now that you're in heaven
Your trials on earth are through
But I didn't hear him mention
If heaven's good enough for you

He claimed you feel no more sorrow
Since you're free from all life's fears
But can the blessed on God's mountain
Love you more than I down here

I was raised not to question
Promises the Bible makes
But how could the Almighty
Make such a terrible mistake

LyricsDid the Lord's illumination
Shine upon you from His throne
When He witnessed my sweet angel
Suffer on the long road home

If there's really no more teardrops
And the streets are paved with gold
Send me down some reassurance
I don't believe what I've been told

If there really is a kingdom
Where you start your life anew
Won't you please somehow convince me
That heaven's good enough for you
