standing on the westbound track with my hands in my pockets the wind blows against my back wishing me down the line guess i ve had enough of this empty feeling finally gonna leave all this pain behind haunted by a past of a lone gone lonely bought a ticket free at last figure i ll take a ride around here i can t shake what seems to ail me i ll be somewhere else come morning light gonna take the last train to san antone give my troubled mind somewhere to go want to get lost in that old city a stranger there may have some pity what s around the bend i ll never know if i m not on that train to san antone staring out across the night i find hope through the darkness i feel a rumble see a light it looks about a mile away my anticipation of tomorrow keeps my heart from hanging on to yesterday gonna take the last train to san antone give my troubled mind somewhere to go want to get lost in that old city a stranger there may have some pity what s around the bend i ll never know if i m not on that train to san antone gonna take the last train to san antone
