lyrics
You said it's tough to
Count the many ways
You'd be willing to leave
Yeah there is a mid-night train
That could take you a million
Miles away
So go on and leave me
I'll just finish my supper alone
No, I'm not waiting
For your return
No, I've heard
This song before
You've found yourself
A better man
One that can hold down
A job
Well, baby, I'm not bitter
I know it's a chore to stick with me
Well, when you're out there
On your own
When the cold
Finally hits
Your bones
You're always welcome
Back here in my arms
Yeah, I'm a forgiving man
Or maybe I'm just lonesome
But when that train whistle blows
I'm always looking for you
No, it's not that big of a deal
Just wanna know you're alright...
Count the many ways
You'd be willing to leave
Yeah there is a mid-night train
That could take you a million
Miles away
So go on and leave me
I'll just finish my supper alone
No, I'm not waiting
For your return
No, I've heard
This song before
You've found yourself
A better man
One that can hold down
A job
Well, baby, I'm not bitter
I know it's a chore to stick with me
Well, when you're out there
On your own
When the cold
Finally hits
Your bones
You're always welcome
Back here in my arms
Yeah, I'm a forgiving man
Or maybe I'm just lonesome
But when that train whistle blows
I'm always looking for you
No, it's not that big of a deal
Just wanna know you're alright...
