I don't know what you're waiting for
Mary's out the door
Why would I lie?
Through the dust & the fading light shall I tell you what I spy?

Mississippi Southern owns the train but I know it's got another name
Why would I lie?
It's a race to the edge of the night
The Great Sorrow's got you in its lights

Run, run! Try to catch the sun
Don't be slack
The Great Sorrow is on the tracks
Run, run! Try to catch the sun
Don't look back
The Great Sorrow is on your track
