Last Train on Earth
Henry Allen drives a trolley
On the Chattanooga line
Taking tourists up and down the yard
His hat says lucky number nine
He tells me I'm the chosen one to see
Glorious relics of his past
Eighty years of shiny time machines he grinds
Last train, last train on Earth
Don't be late the conductor waits for no one
Last train, last train on Earth
Don't hesitate, this ticket has no refund
Out the picture window he could see
A panorama of the sky
Lovers dancing in the dining cars
They'll be sleeping by and by
But all I see is just a parking lot
Paved with glory days gone by
And Henry's riding on the rails alone tonight
Last train, last train on Earth
Don't be late the conductor waits for no one
Last train, last train on Earth
Don't hesitate, this ticket has no refund
Woke up with quite a heavy heart today
We lost a keeper of the flame
Counting stations on the homeward bound
As another slips away
And as I stepped off of that railroad car
And the band began to play
I was standing on a cloud as he drove away
Last train, last train on Earth
It's the last train, last train on Earth
On the Chattanooga line
Taking tourists up and down the yard
His hat says lucky number nine
He tells me I'm the chosen one to see
Glorious relics of his past
Eighty years of shiny time machines he grinds
Last train, last train on Earth
Don't be late the conductor waits for no one
Last train, last train on Earth
Don't hesitate, this ticket has no refund
Out the picture window he could see
A panorama of the sky
Lovers dancing in the dining cars
They'll be sleeping by and by
But all I see is just a parking lot
Paved with glory days gone by
And Henry's riding on the rails alone tonight
Last train, last train on Earth
Don't be late the conductor waits for no one
Last train, last train on Earth
Don't hesitate, this ticket has no refund
Woke up with quite a heavy heart today
We lost a keeper of the flame
Counting stations on the homeward bound
As another slips away
And as I stepped off of that railroad car
And the band began to play
I was standing on a cloud as he drove away
Last train, last train on Earth
It's the last train, last train on Earth
