Billy had an eye for looking

She had her eye on him

They may know how they stayed together

Be it sink or swim

Through the autumn, through the winter

You'd never see them apart

Then Billy left for a summer job

That girl she broke his heart





CHORUS

Don't you know that you might have a ticket

Oh you just might right on time

but if things ain't willing love have mercy cause

Some trains never come

Some trains they never come 





Sally found her Mr. Right

Dressed in a three piece suit

That night he offered to drive her home

After drinks after 2

He never bothered to mention a word

About the wife and kids

He thought he'll never bother to call her at all

Ain't that the way it is





CHORUS





Only two people who swear its coming

Some say its already passed

I say they'll never find it at all

Until you walk the tracks





Don't you show that you might have a ticket

Oh you just might right on time

but if things ain't willing love have mercy cause

Some trains never come

Some trains they never come 





Don't you know you can't see where you're going

If you can't remember where you've been

Cause now love will leave you waiting

Crying at the station

Some trains never come

Some trains they never come
