Railroad, she left me standing on the line
Railroad, she's really leaving me this time
Leaving on the midnight train
Leaving, never gonna come back again

I'm living alone, a place of my own
A bed, a chair and one back door
Something went wrong with the words to my song
And now she ain't around no more
Something she said as she lay on my bed
Six or seven hours ago
I guess I was wrong
I really didn't think she would go.

Railroad, she left me standing on the line
Railroad, she's really leaving me this time
Leaving on the midnight train
Leaving, never gonna come back again

Her face was always smiling, guess she was always laughing at me
I said her face was always smiling, guess she was always laughing at me
If I'd realised I'd be less surprised to find
That she was laughing at me
