Last Train to Amsterdam Lyrics Words & Music by Ray Wylie Hubbard There's an old soul waitin' to be born There's a scarecrow standin' in the corn On of thems wishin' for the light of day One of them is chasin' all the black crows away Well I'm standing at the station and I don't know where I am And the wheels are turnin' on the last train to Amsterdam There's a preacher out spreadin' the word There's a blond in a thunderbird One of them tells me to kneel and pray One of them gets to me in a real bad way Well I got me a one way ticket to get me from where I am And the wheels are turnin' on the last train to Amsterdam I'm standin' just south of Fate There ain't no exit from the interstate There's one way in, it's a long dirty road Only one way out Robert Johnson knows There's a hobo waitin' on a train There's a hitch hiker standin' in the rain One of them knows he's never going home The other one feels God down in his bones
