| Well I woke up this morning woah-oh
|
| And the sun refused to shine
|
| I knew I’d leave my baby oh
|
| With a troublin' mind
|
| It rains every morning oh
|
| And evening is the same
|
| And it’s gonna be a long time oh
|
| 'Til I hear the 2:10 train
|
| Well I looked out my window oh
|
| And I couldn’t keep from cryin'
|
| I knew the old 2:10 oh
|
| Would take me down the line
|
| That driver on that engine oh
|
| Well he ain’t no friend of mine
|
| He’s taken all the women oh
|
| And he’s left the men behind
|
| Well now he won’t be leaving Big Ben oh
|
| For another seven years
|
| I’m gonna find another baby oh
|
| To laugh away my tears
|
| When I get back to Houston woah-oh
|
| I’m gonna shout and tell
|
| How the Big Ben bought 'em oh
|
| It’s a living burning hell
|
| Now when your lovin' baby leaves you oh
|
| Don’t you feel so bad
|
| It makes you think about the good times oh
|
| With the one time man you’ve had
|
| He’s crying don’t leave me here baby
|
| Shackled to a chain
|
| But let me ride down with you oh
|
| Along the 2:10 train |
