Slim Dusty - Last Train To Nowhere

Текст песни

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 oneway 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, in 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 cell in a country jail
It is 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 brick
Just a whistle loud and a smoky shroud on the final trip I take
I’m on the last to nowhere, the train that’s never late
But no more hails and nowhere mails, it’s going through the Pearly Gate
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
