G D
By the time I get to Phoenix was the last song on your mind the day you left
G C D G
Then you woke up in Nogales with Tequila and her name across your chest
D
And you stumbled through the morning in these border tourists' dusty avenues
G C D G
Singing every day's the hurting kind and everyday you live, you're born to lose
[Chorus]
C D
You missed the last train home
G C D G
The whistle blew and now she's gone
C
West Texas dust beneath your nails
D G C D G
You're hammered down the heartbreak trail
C D
You missed the last train home
G C D G C D G
That whistle blew, she's solid gone
[Verse 2]
G D
Now, you're wandering El Paso searching for your broken heart and truth
G C D G
She was all you ever had and the only thing you ever had to lose
D
And with a juke box playing Charlie Rich you're lining up your shots at half past noon
G C D G
And you threw your ring across the bar and sang along to good time Charlie's got the blues
[Chorus]
C D
You missed the last train home
G C D G
The whistle blew and now she's gone
C
West Texas dust beneath your nails
D G C D G
You're headed down the heartbreak trail
[Chorus]
C D
You missed the last train home
G C D G
Whistle blew, she's solid gone
C D
Don't go to Tulsa where she's bound
G C D G
You'll end up six feet underground
C D
Your ex-friend Charlie's there about
G C D G
He never missed the last train out
[Outro]
C D
You missed the last train home
G C D G
That whistle blew, she's solid gone
C D
You missed the last train home
G C D G C D G C D G
That whistle blew, she's solid gone
