The last train out Laredo leaves today.
And I'm gonna catch its spine.
The last train for Laredo, hear what I say.
Ain't gonna let it ride without me.

Don't ride without me
Don't ride without me
And the train goes...
"How, How, how-how, how"

Yeh, the hippies chase the morning,
They like to dream, but I can't take no sides.
Cuz the evil talks to junkies just like to saints.
And I can't let them ride without me.

(Chorus)

Leaving on a train
Leaving on an old train
Leaving on an old train
To Nuevo Laredo.

Leaving on a train
Leaving on an old train
Leaving on an old train
To a new Laredo.
