I took the last train to Clarkesville
There are no more trains here.
They're now all down in Clarkesville
If you want one, you go there, was that not clear?
Oh no no no...
I took the last train to Clarkesville
But I'm not a jerk or slob --
I might just let you borrow it
if I'm not doing training for a job.
Oh no no no....
I need to train so I can work from home.
do do do do do etc.
I took the last train to Clarkesville
You'd think they would make more
I asked around and no-one has them --
even at the railroad hobby store.
Oh no no no...
I took the last train to Clarkesville
But I'm running out of space
My living room's already full
of trains that go to every other place
Oh no no no...
and there's no way I can get inside my home.
(guitar solo)
I took the last train to Clarkesville
But I think there is a bus
If you need to get to Clarkesville now
it's that or drive a car, don't make a fuss.
Oh no no no....
Took the last train to Clarkesville
There are none left for you.
The trains now all belong to me
I'm keeping them, there's nothing you can do.
No no no no...
And I think they're gonna send me to a home.
