Next Train to Tennessee  
Lyrics by Emma Moseley

25 dollars for the ticket
My bags are packed to the brim.
I clean up my face and reach for the bottle
when I think of him.
Made my decision now, for so long I wanted to see.
But I was wrong about him and I'm leaving
on the next train to Tennessee.

A long time ago it was
when I thought I was in love.
But you seemed like half a man
when push came to shove.
Made my decision now,
yeah you thought I wouldn't leave,
well baby, you can watch me leaving
on the next train to Tennessee.

If you can't give me something
that I can work with till the end.
Then all of this time that's passed
it's just ain't worth a damn.
Made my decision now,
both of us knew it couldn't be.
So baby now you know
I'm leaving on the next train to Tennessee.
 
Damn boy you only got three shots left.
You put two in my heart and I'll put one in your head.
I'm so high from all your shit. I'm so high from all of this.
Give me a shot of what your drinking.
There's no looking back again.

Cause I'm pounding on your front door at 3a.m. outside.
Screaming bloody murder for the girl that's inside.
Pouring out your gasoline and add my bottle of jack.
Grab your clothes baby girl I'm coming for your ass.
