Where did your heart go? Did you put it on a train? Did you leave it in the rain Or down in Mexico, yeah? Where did your heart go? Did you put it on a train? Did you leave it in the rain Or down in Mexico, yeah? Let them down I spend my nights down on the wharf in unlit alleyways Next to the church downtown where Sally prays Come down sometime, we'll eat a rusty can of corn, yeah And listen to the radio, I love you, I love you, it says Where did your heart go? Did you put it on a train? Did you leave it in the rain Or down in Mexico, yeah? Yeah yeah yeah You cry but I don't, no, I've seen it all before There it goes again, the slamming of the doors Sometimes the river calls me, in the night it calls my name Says put your troubles down beside me Things have always been the same And rock and roll can't teach me, no, what the river said that night I jumped into its beauty and drifted out of sight Where did your heart go? Did you put it on a train? Did you leave it in the rain Or down in Mexico, yeah? Where did your heart go? Did you put it on a train? Did you leave it in the rain Or down in Mexico, yeah? Yeah yeah yeah (Ah uh ooh ooh uh ooh)
