2:19 Lyrics

I lost everything I had
In the '29 flood
The barn was buried
Beneath a mile of mud
Now I've got nothing
But the whistle and the steam
My baby leaving town on the 2: 19

I said hey hey
I don't know what to do
Hey hey
I will remember you
Hey hey
I don't know what to do
My baby leaving town on the 2: 19

Lost the baby with the water
And the preacher stole the bride
Sent her out for a bottle
But when she came back inside
She didn't have my whiskey
She didn't have my gin
With a hat full of feathers
And a wicked grin

I said hey hey
I don't know what to do
Hey hey
I will remember you
Hey hey
I don't know what to do
My baby leaving town on the 2: 19

(IDK)

I said hey hey
I don't know what to do
Hey hey
I will remember you
Hey hey
I don't know what to do
My baby leaving town on the 2: 19

On the train you get smaller
As you get farther away
The roar covers everything
You wanted to say
Was that a raindrop in
The corner of your eye
Were you drying your nails
Or waving goodbye

I said hey hey
I don't know what to do
Hey hey
I will remember you
Hey hey
I don't know what to do
My baby leaving town on the 2: 19
