Intro

Sam's leavin' on a midnight train

 Holes in is shoes, holes in his brain

 Holes in his hand where the money goes through

 But an excuse to leave an a one-way ticket too

 Sam's leavin' town, Sam's leavin' town

 Sam's leavin' town, Sam's leavin' town

 He lost control

He tried to live his own rock 'n roll

But after many years he lost his self-control

Every band rehearsal turned out into a big fight

Now be smart, Sam, turn on you light

Sam's leavin' town, Sam's leavin' town (2x)

He lost control

  He's got friends

  Can you call them friends?

Got a home

  Can you call it a ho-o-ome

I know you love only one-night stands

Is that what you call rock 'n roll

  Oh rock 'n roll

Oh no

So now, Sam's leavin' on a midnight train

Drunk and coked to the brim again

Boards the train to nowhere land

The final stop, the start of the end

 Sam's leavin' town, Sam's leavin' town (3x)

 Sam's leavin' town, Sam's leavin' town
