about

Co-written with Chris Roumbanis

lyrics

Legend says you can't come back
From the train that rides this track
But we all know how truth gets lost in the pouring rain

A young mans heart is seldom wise
Chasing dreams in distant skies
So Jimmy went down on a south bound train

Chorus

Better get on board before the night is through
Better get on board if you dare to
And if your pain is not yet drowned
Pour another round
Cause someone's going down before the night is through

Pushing steel on that August night
You could tell that things weren't right
By the way that Mary Mae, the way she held her eyes

He could tell she was a working girl
Brought up hard in this mean old world
Selling love that he could never afford to buy

Chorus

Loneliness is all it takes
Jimmy made a big mistake
Now he's gotta pay the man his dues

But down and out ya know he ain't got much
Just a reckless heart and a gentle touch
Now Jimmy is going down
Before the night is through

Chorus
