[Verse 1:]
I wanna talk to you ‘bout this love affair
Is it really true that you don’t care?
Seems like every day you grow farther away
Tell me what can I say to make you stay

[Chorus:]
Cuz if you really don’t love me anymore (If you don’t love me)
I just don’t know what to say
There’s a train that’s leavin’ in the morning (Train)
That will take you straight to Santa Fe (All the way)
(Train) If you feel this thing we got just can’t go on
(Train) Then I won’t stand in your way
I won’t stand in your way
I won’t stand in your way, no, no

[Verse 2:]
I’m so in love with you, you’re all I wanna be
Whenever you go away, babe, you take a part of me
(Oh, yes you do)
A man’s gotta do, what he gotta do
But remember, babe, wherever you go, I’m with you
Cuz I need ya

CHORUS:
If you really don’t love me anymore (If you don’t love me)
I just don’t know what to say
There’s a train that’s leavin’ in the mornin’
(Train) That will take you straight to Santa Fe (All the way)
(Train) If you feel this thing we got just can’t go on
(Train) I won’t stand in your way {x3}

CHORUS

I won’t stand in your way no, no
(Train leavin’ without delay) No
(Train headed for Santa Fe)
Oh no, I won’t stand in your way
(Train leavin’without delay)
(Train headed for Santa Fe)
Mm yeah

Train, train
(Train leavin’ without delay)
(Train headed for Santa Fe)
(Train leavin’ without delay)
(Train)

I just can’t go on
