She was young, she was beautiful
And I was just an old train
I guess I should have known enough
To look the other way
She would smile, we'd make small talk
"See ya later, " she would always say
And I'd forget for a little while
I was just an old train
So tell her that I said 'hello'
If you ever see her around
And smile for me if you ever see
And old train leaving town
She worked behind the counter
At an all-night convenience store
She said she'd moved to Michigan
From a town near Baltimore
She would smile, we'd make small talk
"See ya later," she would always say
And I'd forget for a little while
I was just an old train
So tell her that I said 'hello'
If you ever see her around
And smile for me if you ever see
And old train leaving town
Don't tell her that I loved her
I never even knew her name
Just smile for me if you ever see
An old train leaving town
