about

Sometimes love keeps you in a place longer than you should stay. Small towns can feel that way too.

lyrics

Tell my mom I love her, tell my daddy too
But I've got to leave this town to do what I must do
Tell everyone I'm going, though I haven't got a clue      
Where on earth I'll get to, or what I'm gonna do
 
I'll catch the train that's running, and ride it to the end
I'll catch the sun as it goes down, then ride it up again
 
When I was a little girl this town seed big enough                    
But soon as I could tear it up, I swear this whole place shrunk
There's nothing in this whole town to keep me in its fold
Its doors have all been locked and sealed and left me in the cold
 
I'll catch the train that's running, and ride it to the end
I'll catch the sun as it goes down, then ride it up again

Tell the ones who loved me, tell the others too
I would have left here long ago if it hadn't been for you  

Tell the ones who loved me, tell the others too
I would have left here long ago if it hadn't been for you

Won’t you tell the ones who loved me, tell the others too
I would have left here long ago if it hadn't been for you
If it hadn't been for you, if it hadn't been for you
 
I'll catch the train that's running, and ride it to the end
I'll catch the sun as it goes down, then ride it up again
 
Tell mother in the morning, after I have gone          
I didn't want to hurt her, but I hurt myself too long
 
Stop that train, I’m leaving
Stop that train, I’m leaving
Stop that train, I’m leaving…
