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 And 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 And 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
