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
