I remember how you were

I don't think that you do

Now you're gone on the midnight train

To think it all through

All the fools that you left in the bar

Think about what it is that you are

You're a baby star



Lettin' your hair hang low

Lettin' your hair hang low

The next in line

Will be the next to go

Lettin' your hair hang low



You finished your book

You left your lover behind

You never know what it's going to be like

With the next in line

You don't want to be trapped in the past

But nothin' you want will last

And you're fadin' fast



Lettin' your hair hang low

Lettin' your hair hang low

The next in line

Will be the next to go

Lettin' your hair hang low



I heard you felt that way

I heard you felt that way

When you needed somebody so bad

And nobody looked your way

So you packed up all of your clothes

Let that train go wherever it goes

And nobody knows you



Lettin' your hair hang low

Lettin' your hair hang low

The next in line

Will be the next to go

Lettin' your hair hang low
