Railroad Cars

I'll be waitin' at the station for you
To pick me up and take me away
But I'll be gone when you arrive
I'll contemplate and change my mind
'Cause I just cannot live that way

I saw those railroad cars were ridin'
Movin' forever down their path
They've all forgotten words behind them
But I could not leave my past behind

And Caroline has back to backs
Sittin' by them railroad tracks
But I don't think she's asked herself why
'Cause all those years of holding back
Feelings that she's always had
To run away and leave her man behind

She saw those railroad cars were ridin'
Movin' forever down their tracks
They've all forgotten words behind them
But I saw that she changed her mind

She could not leave her man behind
I tried to run away from love
But somethin' stopped me, I don't know what
It was about that train that took me home
I said, "So long" to that railroad
"Goodbye," that's all she wrote
I'm goin' home for to see my Caroline

I saw those railroad cars were ridin'
Movin' forever down their tracks
They've all forgotten words behind them
But I could not leave
Oh, I could not leave
Oh, I could not leave
My past behind
