I wanna ride away on a midnight train

And leave this ol’ town behind

Them rollin’ hills will stand to still

Me and my ramblin’ mind

Don’t ya bother waitin’ at the station

I’ve left no trace to find

Your memory will be company

To ease my worried mind

Fool me once, I’ll take the pain

Fool me twice, don’t you call my name

As I ride away from yesterday

while you cry and blame the train…

Oh, bless your soul, but damn your words

That turned right into lies

It’s a lonesome road, and I’m bound to go

Honey, while ya stay behind

Ol’ number nine she’ll do me fine

Darling, keep your liar’s dice

Go and throw ‘em down, keep rollin’ around

With that heart as cold as ice

Fool me once, I’ll take the pain

Fool me twice, don’t you call my name

As I ride away from yesterday

While you cry and blame the train…
