I heard that warnin' whistle blowin'.

I knew that train was comin' fast.

The sound of the wheels was hypnotisin':

I could not move from it's path:

I just stood there, glued to the tracks.

It was a long time comin':

She was a heartbreak waitin' to happen,

An' I went right along.

It was a long time comin'.

Before I knew what hit me, she was gone:

She was so gone.

Those cold black eyes that burned right through me,

Could melt a heart of steel.

I just pulled her closer to me,

'Cause I loved the way it made me feel,

Underneath her wheels.

It was a long time comin':

She was a heartbreak waitin' to happen,

An' I went right along.

It was a long time comin'.

Before I knew what hit me, she was gone:

She was so gone.

It was a long time comin'.

Before I knew what hit me, she was gone:

Before I knew what hit me, she was gone:

She was so gone,

So gone.

So gone.

So gone.
