[Verse 1]
People expect you to fall, hit that same old wall
Really they don't wanna help at all
They talk behind your back today, shake their heads and say
Well, I always knew that the boy would come to no good anyway
[Chorus]
Better pack her up and go, Detroit or Buffalo
Anybody wanna know where, you don't know, you don't know
God knows everybody gotta go sometime
And I'm taking this train to the end of the line
Missing every mile, that friend of mine
[Verse 2]
I haven't been too well myself, a lot of time on the shelf
Saying that I don't need help when I do
But I'm gonna be just fine, a lot of friends, a little wine
Still I wish I could see you again sometime, but I
[Chorus]
I better pack her up and go, Detroit or Buffalo
Anybody wanna know where, I don't know, I don't know, no
God knows everybody gotta go sometime
And I'm taking this train to the end of the line
Missing every mile, that friend of mine
[Verse 3]
Hard to open up the door like you done so many times before
But sometimes you think you just can't do it anymore
Take a chance and take a train, out into the pouring rain
And all you got's your suitcase full of pain
[Chorus]
You better pack her up and go, Detroit or Buffalo
Anybody wanna know where, you don't know, you don't know, no
God knows everybody gotta go sometime
And I'm taking this train to the end of the line, oh
Missing every mile, that friend of mine
[Outro]
Missing every mile, that friend of mine
