Well I stood there, and watched you leave But you never turned around to look at me Standing in the rain, with a ticket in my hand for a southbound train Knowing I was never coming back again, back here. Don't you ever shed a tear What we had was between you and I my dear There's no explanation that can make it clear We all have memories to treasure Don't you ever feel ashamed I'd be more than happy to take all the blame Take it with me on this southbound train Bury it somewhere in the desert Well I still recall the night Where we danced barefoot neath the old street light Where the rain began to fall So, we made like rabbits in the bathroom stall Bartender come in, said you kids can't ball in here Don't you ever shed a tear What we had was between you and I my dear There's no explanation that can make it clear We all have memories to treasure Don't you ever feel ashamed I'd be more than happy to take all the blame Take it with me on this southbound train Bury it somewhere in the desert There were times I thought I'd change But this old dog has got plenty of mange One day I'll be gone But you think of me mama and you can't go wrong I'll come around and play you a country song Like this one right here Don't you ever shed a tear What we had was between you and I my dear There's no explanation that can make it clear We all have memories to treasure Don't you ever feel ashamed I'd be more than happy to take all the blame Take it with me on this southbound train Bury it somewhere in the desert
