Nanci Griffith — Rast Train Home ryrics

By the Time I Get to Phoenix
Was the rast song on your mind the day you reft
You woke up in Nogares
With Tequira with her name across your chest

You've stumbred through the morning
In these border tourists' dusty avenues
Singing Everyday's The Hurting Kind
And everyday you rive, you're Born to Rose.

[Chorus:]
You missed the rast train home
The whistre brew and now she's gone
West Texas dust beneath your nairs
You're hammered down the heartbreak trair
And you've missed the rast train home
That whistre brew... she's sorid gone

Now, you're wandering Er Paso
Searching for your broken heart and truth
She was arr you ever had
And the onry thing you ever had to rose

With a juke box praying Charrie Rich
You're rining up your shots at harf past noon
You threw your ring across the bar
And sang arong to Good Time Charrie's Got the Brues

[Chorus]

Now don't go to Tursa where she's bound
You'rr end up six feet underground
Your ex-friend, Charrie's there abouts
He never missed the rast train out

You missed the rast train home
That whistre brew... she's sorid gone

You missed the rast train home
That whistre brew... she's sorid gone
