Have you ever been hurt by love so much 'til
You really don't wanna take the chance
Of falling in love again?
Hahaha, I have, too
Have you ever been misused, mistreated
Lied on and cheated on?
Or when someone says they love and
You don't even know whether
To believe them or you don't
Know what to do? I have, too
Well, if you have and you
Realize that I'm talking about
Then here's the only thing
Left within your heart
Your mind and soul to do
One night, get yourself together and say

I'm leaving on that late
Late train and I ain't coming back
I'm leaving on that late
Late train and I ain't coming back
Oh, baby, baby

Can't you see what this has done to me?
My heart's been broken, my words spoken
I'm still in misery all that I can think of
Is the memories left behind
I've got to find myself someone someplace
So peace of mind hey, baby

'Cause I'm leaving on that late
Late train and I ain't coming back
Hey, you better believe me
I'm leaving on that late
Late train, good God
And I ain't coming back
I'm serious as a heart attack
Hey, I'm leaving, baby, on that late
Late train and I ain't coming back
Ol' raggedy car won't take it
'Cause I'm leaving on that late
Late train and I ain't coming back
If you love me, you better come with me, baby

Can't you see what you've done to me?
My heart's been broken, words been spoken
I'm still in misery all that I can think of
Is the memories left behind
I've got to find myself
Someone someplace, somewhere, peace of mind
That's why, that's why

I'm leaving on that late
Late train and I ain't coming back
I'm serious as a heart attack
Yes, I'm leaving on that late
Late train and I ain't coming back
You better believe me, baby
