When You Need a Train It Never Comes

Was dreaming, I was tied to a train track twisting in the sun
 Burning up hoping the trains hadn't quit rolling
 I was ready for it to be done
 But when you need a train it never comes
 I woke up to you wearing your winter coat
 You're leaving everything here but your phone
 And I leaned out the window but the tracks below
 Were quiet, caught the cold
 When you need a train it never comes
 When you need a train it never comes
 The union pacific is due for a visit
 And believe me I got a plan
 But the plan's no good without the train
 And when you need a train it never comes
 When you need a train it never comes
 Standing in the kitchen with all the dirty dishes
 You left a lot of things here undone
 The washer's leaking and the porch light's broken
 Things you said you'd get around to
 I could use a distraction and the noise of the engine
 Its rumblin' would at least be a break
 From these thoughts screaming and your voice haunting
 The only thing louder is trains
 The only thing louder is trains
 The union pacific is due for a visit
 And believe me I got a plan
 But the plan's no good without the train
 And when you need a train it never comes
 When you need a train it never comes
 ♪
 Crying in the sweater you gave me in this weather
 What am I supposed to do?
 You can't leave me with your things as some sort of trade
 'Cause you're wanting something new
 It's mean and it's cruel
 The union pacific is due for a visit
 And believe me I got a plan
 But the plan's no good without the train
 And when you need a train it never comes
 When you need a train it never comes
