Let the Train Whistle Blow

Old 97s · Early Tracks [EP] [2000]

I don't want no aggravation

When my train leaves the station

If you're there or not, I may not even know

Have a round and remember

things we did that weren't so tender

Let the train blow the whistle when I go



On my old guitar sell tickets

so someone can finally pick it

Tell the girls down at the Ritz

I said Hello

Tell the gossipers and liars

I will see them in the fire

Let the train blow the whistle when I go



Let her blow... let her blow...

Long and loud and hard and happy

Let her blow

No regrets all my debts will be paid

when I get laid

Let the train blow the whistle when I go



You'll be left without excuses

for the evils and the abuses

Down to today from years and years ago

Have yourself another toke

from my basket full of smoke

Let the train blow the whistle when I go



repeat chorus...
