Last train before they shut it down
Its the last line going that way
Last chance headin out of town

I thought i heard the driver say
Packed my bags and all my things
And left them all behind

Red light flashing across that river bridge
And im headin down to caroline
Far away from my everyday

til every day ran dry
Never stopped to look behind me
Or turned to say goodbye


Chorus


So tell the ones i love this trains runnin late
And there aint no end of the line
The hardest part of heaven is makin it wait

But the old 97s gonna make it this time
Everything was made to break
And the wheels are made of glass

I can hear em groan and feel em shakin
Neath the weight of all our past


Chorus

Close my eyes and feel the wind

Lean back and let her roll
And then that 97 hits 110
You can feel it in your soul

Last train before they shut it down
Its the last line going that way
Last chance headin out of town

I thought i heard the driver say

Chorus
