As sure as the birds have wings in the sky above
Life ain't worth livin' if you ain't with the one you love
But if there's trouble in the air, trouble in the water
And you ain't treat one another like you oughta
That's when those two trains are runnin' different ways
We never had a chance, did we, babe
I've learned a lesson I can't forget
It ain't like it used to be, my life's a solid mess
There ain't much left of us, as far as I can tell
It's so long, goodbye, darling, I wish you well
Oh, those two trains are runnin' different ways
We never had a chance, did we, babe
When we are apart, we say everything's gonna work out fine
But when we are together, days turn into long and lonely nights
We both know where it's gonna lead, what you do you want me to say
It ain't that I don't love you, but I believe I just can't stay
Those two trains are runnin' different ways
We never had a chance, did we, babe
Oh, those two trains are runnin' different ways
We never had a chance, did we, babe
