I heard that warnin' whistle blowin'.
I knew that train was comin' fast.
The sound of the wheels was hypnotisin':
I could not move from it's path:
I just stood there, glued to the tracks.

It was a long time comin':
She was a heartbreak waitin' to happen,
An' I went right along.
It was a long time comin'.
Before I knew what hit me, she was gone:
She was so gone.

Those cold black eyes that burned right through me,
Could melt a heart of steel.
I just pulled her closer to me,
'Cause I loved the way it made me feel,
Underneath her wheels.

It was a long time comin':
She was a heartbreak waitin' to happen,
An' I went right along.
It was a long time comin'.
Before I knew what hit me, she was gone:
She was so gone.

It was a long time comin'.
Before I knew what hit me, she was gone:
Before I knew what hit me, she was gone:
She was so gone,
So gone.

So gone.
So gone.
