Stop that train, I'm leavin' today! Stop that train, I'm leavin' anyway! Stop that train, I'm leavin' And I said, it won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong I said, it won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong All my good life I've been a lonely man Teachin' my people who don't understand And even though I tried my best I still can't find no happiness So I got to say Stop that train, I'm leavin' oh, baby now! Stop that train, I'm leavin', I don't care what you say! Stop that train, I'm leavin' And I said, it won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong I said, it won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong Some goin' east, and-a some goin' to west Some stand aside to try their best Some livin' big, but the most is livin' small They just can't even find no food at all I mean, stop it Stop that train, I'm leavin', believe me, mm-hmm Stop that train, I'm leavin', I don't mind! Stop that train, I'm leavin' And I said, it won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong I said, it won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong Stop that train, I'm leavin', believe me Stop that train, I'm leavin', can't take it! Stop that train, I'm leavin', got to be better! It won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong I said it won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong
