She was raised in South L.A. I grew up in the South
Two different worlds, some hard times, we made it work somehow
Lately I've been noticing she's wanting to spread her wings
I guess sometimes life gets crazy when you miss important things
She bought a one-way ticket on a Southbound Amtrak train
Not sure where she's heading, but I pray she stops in Santa Fe
All these miles between us somehow, I've gotta catch that train
I wonder if she's thinking she's still mine, or if I let her slip away
God knows that locomotive's not gonna wait on me
I guess trains are made to pull up, pack up and leave
She bought a one-way ticket on a Southbound Amtrak train
Not sure where she's heading, but I pray she stops in Santa Fe
All these miles between us somehow, I've gotta catch that train
I wonder if she's thinking she's still mine, or if I let her slip away
Pulled into the station, no clue which car she's on
So far not looking good, no, I think she's already gone
She bought a one-way ticket on a Southbound Amtrak train
Not sure where she's heading, but she didn't stop in Santa Fe
All these miles between us somehow, I've gotta catch that train
I wonder if she's thinking she's still mine, or if I let her slip away
She bought a one-way ticket on a Southbound Amtrak train
Not sure where she's heading, but she didn't step off in Santa Fe
