Tom Keifer said he was inspired to write this song after meeting his wife Savannah but having to be separated from her to resume touring.
[Verse 1]
Waiting at the station, tears filling up my eyes
Sometimes the pain you hide burns like a fire inside
Look out my window, sometimes it's hard to see
The things you want in life come and go so easily
[Chorus]
She took the last train out of my heart
She took the last train and now I think I'll make a brand new start
She took the last train out of my heart
[Verse 2]
Watching the days go by, thinking 'bout the plans we made
Days turn into years, funny how they fade away
Sometimes I think of those days, sometimes I just hide away
Waiting on that 9:20 train, waiting on a memory
[Chorus]
She took the last train out of my heart
She took the last train and now I think I'll make a brand new start
She took the last train out of my heart
[Bridge]
My lady's on the fly
And she's never coming back
My love is like a steam train
Rolling down the tracks, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
She took the last train out of my heart
She took the last train and now I think I'll make a brand new start
She took the last train out of my heart
