Leaving on a Jet Plane  is a song written by John Denver in 1966 and most famously recorded by Peter, Paul and Mary. The original title of the song was Babe, I Hate to Go but Denver's then producer Milt Okun convinced him to change the title.
I thought it was about someone leaving for whatever reason, kind of a budget version of Leavin on a Jet Plane. There's a town in northeast Texas called Clarksville about 30 miles from here I always thought the song was about. No passenger train service any more -- which is why it was the *last* train.
