Last Train to Amsterdam Lyrics

By Ray Wylie Hubbard
There's an old soul waitin' to be born
There's a scarecrow standin' in the corn
One of thems wishin' for the light of day
One of them is chasin' all the black crows away
Chorus:
Well I got me a one way ticket to get me from where I am
And the wheels are turnin' on the last train to Amsterdam
There's a hobo waitin' on a train
There's a hitch hiker standin' in the rain
One of them knows he's never going home
The other one feels God down in his bones
I'm standin' just south of Fate
There ain't no exit from the interstate
There's one way in and it's a long dirt road
Only one way our Robert Johnson knows
Dobro solo
There's a preacher out spreadin' the word
Oh, There's a blonde in a thunderbird
One of them tells me to kneel and pray
One of them gets to me in a real bad way
And the wheels are turnin on the last train to Amsterdam
