Well there's a blue moon hangin' in a small town sky
Nobody's listenin' to the band tonight
Nobody feels like dancin' in this sad cafe
Oh, but you and me, baby, we got somethin' to live for
One more step and we'll be out that door
I don't know where we're goin', but we're already on our way

[Chorus]
The train is leavin' and it won't come back
We got one-way tickets on a one-way track
Nobody's gonna get their hands on the plans we made
And nobody's gonna rain on our parade

Well there's a red light blinking on an empty street
Church bells ringing in the dog-day heat
The more we try to change things, the more they stay the same
But there ain't no tellin' just what we'll find
Out past the city limit sign
There's a voice out there, and I heard it callin' our name

[Chorus]

Well there ain't nobody
Don't need nobody
Couldn't be nobody
Don't see nobody
Nobody's gonna rain on our parade

[Chorus]

The train is leavin' and it won't come back
One-way ticket on a one-way track...
Nobody's gonna rain on our parade...
