Lyrics for Song: Last Train Home 
Lyrics for Album: Winter Marquee [2002]
  
               
  22072>By the time I get to Phoenix
  Was the last song on your mind the day you left
  Then you woke up in Nogales
  With Tequila with her name across your chest
 
 
  Now, you've stumbled through the morning
  On these border tourists' dusty avenues
  Singing every day's the hurting kind
  And everyday you live, you're born to lose
 
 
  Now, you missed the last train home
  The whistle blew and now she's gone
  West Texas dust beneath your nails
  You're hammered down the heartbreak trail
  Now, you've missed the last train home
  Whistle blew, she's solid gone
 
 
  Now, you're wandering El Paso
  Searching for your broken heart and truth
  She was all you ever had
  And the only thing you ever had to lose
 
 
  And with a juke box playing Charlie Rich
  You're lining up your shots at half past noon
  And you threw your ring across the bar
  And sang along to good time Charlie's got the blues
 
 
  Now, you missed the last train home
  The whistle blew and now she's gone
  West Texas dust beneath your nails
  You're hammered down the heartbreak trail
  Now, you've missed the last train home
  Whistle blew, she's solid gone
 
 
  Don't go to Tulsa where she's bound
  You'll end up six feet underground
  Your ex-friend, Charlie's there about
  He never missed the last train out
 
 
  Now, you missed the last train home
  That whistle blew, she's solid gone
  Now, you missed the last train home
  That whistle blew, she's solid gone
