Have you ever had your dreams broken?
It really messes up your heart
You want to stop right there
And go right back to the start

You got to leave the town you're living in
Oh I'm leaving, I'm leaving on the next train
My dreams have been broken
I don't think I'll ever be the same

It's a bad, bad feeling when all the things
That you've worked for just don't seem to turn out right
Well this happened to me last night
I woke up this morning and said I must be going

You see my dreams have been broken
I don't think I have
The strength to carry on
So I'll catch the next train southbound

I don't want no pity
Not from you or anyone
It's just my dreams been broken
And I got to tell someone before I go crazy

I'll be leaving
I'll be leaving
On that next train going southbound
Yes, I'll be leaving on that next train

You see my dreams been broken
And I just can't
Take the pain
I've got to move on

You see my dreams been broken
And I don't have
The strength
To carry on
