Just when I finally got my wits about me
Just when I finally found my way
She said she's moving down to New York City,
And nothing's gonna make that change
Just when I finally got my shit together now
Just when I thought we were all okay
She said, "It's over, it's too late, and now I'm leavin'",
And nothing's gonna make her stay
Ain't nothing I can do to make her stay
Ain't nothing I can do to make it all okay
Like a train going westward, I just can't forget her
I just can't forget no pretty face
A hundred memories I just can't seem to forget now
A thousand ways I'd wish I'd changed
A million miles, it seems, will keep us far apart now
Wish there was something I could do to make that change
Wish there was something I could do to make that change
Wish there was something I could prove to make it all okay
Like a train going westward, I just can't forget her, I just can't forget no pretty face
Hey, what about that one time that you said to me that you'd never be, that you'd never be untrue to me?
Hey, what about that other time that I said to you that I can't keep putting up with everything you put me through?
Ooh, ooh
Well, it seems you and me are coming to an end now
I never thought it could be this way
I keep on searchin' for that love it seems we've lost now,
But I just can't seem to see beyond the rain
Now I really think it's time I made a change
Now I gotta tell myself it's gonna be okay
Like a train going westward, think I'll hop on the next one
I just can't forget no pretty face
Now I really think it's time I made a change,
Now I gotta tell myself it's gonna be okay
Like a train going westward, think I'll hop on the next one,
I just can't forget no pretty face
I just can't forget no pretty face
I just can't forget no pretty face
