Stop that train: I’m leavin’ – today!
Stop that train: I’m leavin’ – anyway!
Stop that train: I’m leavin’. And I said:
It won’t be too long whether I’m right or wrong;
I said, it won’t be too long whether I’m right or wrong.

All my good life I’ve been a lonely man,
Teachin’ my people who don’t understand;
And even though I tried my best,
I still can’t find no happiness.

So I got to say:
Stop that train: I’m leavin’ – oh, baby now!
Stop that train: I’m leavin’ – don’t care what you say!
Stop that train: I’m leavin’. And I said:
It won’t be too long whether I’m right or wrong;
Said, it won’t be too long whether I’m right or wrong.

Some goin’ east; and-a some goin’ west,
Some stand aside to try their best.
Some livin’ big, but the most is livin’ small::
They just can’t even find no food at all.

I mean, stop it:
Stop that train: I’m leavin’ – leavin’, mm-hmm.
Stop that train: I’m leavin’ – I don’t mind!
Stop that train: I’m leavin’. And I said:
It won’t be too long whether I’m right or wrong;
I said it won’t be too long whether I’m right or wrong.

Stop that train: I’m leavin’ – leavin’!
Stop that train: I’m leavin’ – can’t take it!
Stop that train: I’m leavin’ – got to be better!
It won’t be too long whether I’m right or wrong;
I said it won’t be too long whether I’m right or wrong. [fadeout]
