Last Train To Nowhere - Slim Dusty

I’m on the last train to nowhere, I can hear that whistle blow

And the chances are that I’ll go where all the saints and sinners go

I’ve only got a oneway ticket, so I never will return

But there’ll be no tears in the after years, 'cause there’s no one left to yearn

Been in peculiar places, in countries near and far

By boat and train and big jet plane, by bus and touring car

I’ve done my time in the cooler, a cell in a country jail

It is lonesome there but it can’t compare with a seat on the nowhere mail

When bugles blew in wartime, I joined them over there

I did my best, I had no rest, but I didn’t really care

I never was good at shootin', 'cause I didn’t care to kill

Oh, but my very best mate met a soldier’s fate, now he lies on nowhere hill

I’m on the last train to nowhere and there’s no one on the brick

Just a whistle loud and a smoky shroud on the final trip I take

I’m on the last to nowhere, the train that’s never late

But no more hails and nowhere mails, it’s going through the Pearly Gate

I’m on the last train to nowhere, I can hear that whistle blow

And the chances are that I’ll go where all the saints and sinners go

I’ve only got a one-way ticket, so I never will return

But there’ll be no tears in the after years, 'cause there’s no one left to yearn

Oh, there’s no one left to yearn
