Last Train To Nowhere

I'm on the last train to nowhere
I can hear that whistle blow
And the chances are that I'll go where
All the saints and sinners go
I've only got a one way ticket
So I never will return
But there'll be no tears in the after years
'Cause there's no one left to yearn

Been in peculiar places
And countries near and far
By boat and train and big jet plane
By bus and touring car
I've done my time in the cooler
A-cellin' a country jail
It was lonesome there but it can't compare
With a seat on the nowhere mail

When bugles blew in wartime
I joined them over there
I did my best, I had no rest
But I didn't really care
I never was good at shootin'
'Cause I didn't care to kill
Oh, but my very best mate met a soldier's fate
Now he lies on nowhere hill

I'm on the last train to nowhere
And there's no one on the break
Just a whistle loud and a smokey shroud
On the final trip I take
I'm on the last train to nowhere
The train that's never late
But snow or hail, the nowhere mail
Is goin' through the pearly gates

I'm on the last train to nowhere
I can hear that whistle blow
And the chances are that I'll go where
All the saints and sinners go
I've only got a one way ticket
So I never will return
But there'll be no tears in the after years
'Cause there's no one left to yearn
Oh, there's no one left to yearn
