Last Train Home

I’m almost seeing double as the bourbon multiplies
But there you are as clear as day every time I close my eyes
I’m bellied up and buying drinks for strangers gathered round
How long can you live the dream before it lets you down?

I’m takin’ the last train home
I’m takin’ the last train home
I’m standing at the station, feeling stranded and alone
I’m takin’ the last train home

The girl behind the bar is nice until the last bell rings
She’s sweeping out the regulars who beg for one more drink
In the cold, no place to go, I’m following my feet
Three sheets to a chilly wind on 42nd street

I’m takin’ the last train home
I’m takin’ the last train home
I’m standing at the station, feeling stranded and alone
I’m takin’ the last train home

There was a time in my life
I would have stayed out all night
With my glass raised up high and my face all aglow,
drinkin’ to what? Baby, I don’t know.

I’m takin the last train home
I’m takin the last train home
I’m standing at the station, feeling stranded and alone
I’m takin’ the last train home
I’m takin’ the last train home
I’m takin’ the last train home
