"Last Train To Amsterdam" lyrics
"Last Train To Amsterdam"
There's an old soul waitin' to be born
There's a scarecrow standing in the corn
One of them's wishing for the light of day
One of them is chasing all the black crows away
Well, I got me a one-way ticket to get me from where I am
And the wheels are turnin' on the last train to Amsterdam
There's a preacher out spreadin' the word
There's a blond in a Thunderbird
One of them tells me to kneel and pray
One of them gets to me in a real bad way
Well, I got me a one-way ticket just to get me from where I am
And the wheels are turnin' on the last train to Amsterdam
I was standing a little south of Fate
There ain't no exit from the interstate
There's one way in, it's a long dirt road
There's only one way out, Robert Johnson knows
Well, I'm standing at the station now and I don't know where I am
And the wheels are turnin' on the last train to Amsterdam
There's a hobo waitin' on a train
There's a hitchhiker standing in the rain
One of them knows he's never going home
The other one is feeling God down in his bones
Well, I got me a one-way ticket just to get me from where I am
And the wheels are turnin' on the last train to Amsterdam
And the wheels are turnin' on the last train to Amsterdam

Laughed away more dollars than dimes

Her arms were pale as white
