Sick of watching the sunrise over the hill
Another day breaking with time to kill
Gonna buy a ticket on the next ride out
You'll see the last of me this time
Hear the lonesome whistle
Callin' elsewhere bound
Bout' time I headed out of this one horse town
So long old friend
Fare the well
I'll be onboard when they ring the bell
On this barren land, I've lived, loved and lost
All life's riches have come at a cost
Tired aching legs take the outbound track
Two steps forward, one step back
Hear the lonesome whistle
Callin' elsewhere bound
Bout' time I headed out of this one horse town
So long old friend
Fare the well
I'll be onboard when they ring the bell
They're speaking my name on the final call
The train's ready for leaving at a quarter to four
But underneath the pine trees where I was last seen
Lord I never quite made it
Hear the lonesome whistle
Callin' elsewhere bound
Bout' time I headed out of this one horse town
So long old friend
Fare the well
I'll be onboard when they ring the bell
