From the recording Wide Awake
Lyrics
She said no without thinking
Turned away for no reason
Left me standing in the place where she had stood
Mother, can I borrow
A bed 'till tomorrow?
I'll try to remember the good
If I could fly like a sparrow
Straight as an arrow
I would sail and never come down
Because time is a liar
A constant reminder
When you're stuck with your feet on the ground
She's on the last train to Georgia
The last train that's leaving town
She's on the last train to Georgia
The last train that's leaving town
And I don't think she'll ever be coming back around
Lines on the pavement
Houses left vacant
A sign reads "for sale, bank owned"
Maybe in some other
Windfallen summer
They'll fix all the cracks in the road
There's no place I could be
No face I could meet
That would ever replace what I've lost
If there were some way
To go back, to replay
I would gladly pay any cost
She's on the last train to Georgia
The last train that was leaving town
She's on the last train to Georgia
The last train that was leaving town
And I don't think she'll ever be coming back around
And I don't think she'll ever be coming back around
And I don't think she'll ever be coming back around
