Fayetteville gets hot In the summer

And so does Baton Rouge

Never bothered me much′Cause I never stayed long

Always just passin' through

Never did meet my father

Never did have no son

So when my time is over

Oh, my name is dead and gone

I′m on the last train to nowhere

And it's runnin' right on time

I′m in no rush to get there

Riding to the end of the line

I′m on the last train to nowhere

Just like I've always been

I was raised and born there

And I′m goin' back again

Loved a dozen women in a dozen ways

But I can′t recall their names

Tried at first to make it last

But all hearts are made to break

I took my licks at just layin' bricks

And I worked the land for a spell

And all I got is what they gave

And a couple good stories to tell

I′m on the last train to nowhere

And it's runnin' right on time

I′m in no rush to get there

Riding to the end of the line

I′m on the last train to nowhere

Just like I've always been

I was raised and born there

And I′m goin' back again

Ay, yeah

We pulled out the station

I knew where I was bound

It′s a one way track, no turnin' back and ain′t no turnin' around

I'm on the last train to nowhere

And it′s runnin′ right on time

I'm in no rush to get there

Riding to the end of the line

I′m on the last train to nowhere

Just like I've always been

I was raised and born there

And I′m goin' back again

I′m on the last train to nowhere

And it ain't runnin' late

Now we all gonna get there

Just gonna have to wait

I′m on the last train to nowhere

She′s comin' round the bend

I was raised and born there

And I′m goin' back
