Last Train Home Lyrics

If you wanna roll me, then you gotta roll me all night long
And if you wanna use me, then you gotta use me til I'm gone
I'm not a fallen angel, I just fell behind
I'm out of luck and I'm out of time
If you don't wanna love me, let me go
I'm runnin for the last train
I'm runnin for the last train home

If you wanna know me, then you gotta know me through and through
And if you're gonna hurt me, then you gotta hold me next to you
No matter how you work it, things go wrong
I put my heart where it don't belong
So if you're comin with me let me know
Maybe you're the last train
Maybe you're the last train home

I'm on the last train runnin
I'm on the last train runnin
And I surrender
And I surrender

I'm on the last train runnin
I'm on the last train runnin
And I surrender
I surrender

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Sounds like our John is ready to settle! The last train John is referring to is (in my perception) a woman/relationship. "if you don't want to love me, let me go. I'm running for the last train home". So no more fooling around, it's time for the real deal. With "I put my heart where it don't belong" it feels like he's talking about relationships and girls that won't last or aren't 'healthy'. The "and I surrender" is a beautiful way of saying he's ready to 'give into a settlement', because when settling down, you're definitely surrendering on some level.
