[Intro]
Oh yeah
[Verse 1]
I caught the train to San Francisco
I would have flown, but I don't like planes
I'm just a blur in Luis Obispo
I'm just a nose on a windowpane
[Chorus]
I'll stay (only for an evening)
I'll play (just a one-man band)
I'll stay (only 'til I'm leaving)
I'll play (just a one-night stand)
[Verse 2]
I hit the depot half past seven
I took the bus to a cheap motel
I went to sleep, and I dreamed of heaven
When I awoke, I was back in hell
[Chorus]
I'll stay (only for an evening)
I'll play (just a one-man band)
I'll stay (only 'til I'm leaving)
I'll play (just a one-night stand)
[Guitar Solo]
Oh yeah
[Verse 3]
Ooh, I caught the train for to see Seattle
I would have flown, but I can't stand planes
People go by like so many cattle
Ooh, I'm just a nose on a windowpane
[Chorus]
I'll stay (only for an evening)
I'll play (just a one-man band)
I'll stay (only 'til I'm leaving)
I'll play (just a one-night stand)
