Billy had an eye for looking
She had her eye on him
They may know how they stayed together
Be it sink or swim
Through the autumn, through the winter
You'd never see them apart
Then Billy left for a summer job
That girl she broke his heart

CHORUS
Don't you know that you might have a ticket
Oh you just might right on time
but if things ain't willing love have mercy cause
Some trains never come
Some trains they never come

Sally found her Mr. Right
Dressed in a three piece suit
That night he offered to drive her home
After drinks after 2
He never bothered to mention a word
About the wife and kids
He thought he'll never bother to call her at all
Ain't that the way it is

CHORUS

Only two people who swear its coming
Some say its already passed
I say they'll never find it at all
Until you walk the tracks

Don't you show that you might have a ticket
Oh you just might right on time
but if things ain't willing love have mercy cause
Some trains never come
Some trains they never come

Don't you know you can't see where you're going
If you can't remember where you've been
Cause now love will leave you waiting
Crying at the station
Some trains never come
Some trains they never come
