Dwight Yoakam - Train In Vain lyrics

rate me

(Mick Jones, Joe Strummer)

They say you stand by your man

Tell me something I don't understand

You said you love me and that's a fact

And then you left me, said you felt trapped

Well some things you can't explain away

But the heartache's with me to this day

Chorus:

Did you stand by me?

No not at all

Did you stand by me?

No way

All the times that we were close,

I remember these things the most

I've seen my dreams come tumbling down

I can't be happy without you around

So alone I keep the wolves at bay

And there's only one thing I can say

Chorus:

Did you stand by me?

No not at all

Did you stand by me?

No way

So explain why this must be

Did you lie when you spoke to me?

Chorus:

Hey, did you stand by me?

No not at all

Did you stand by me?

No way

I got a job but it don't pay

I need new clothes, somewhere to stay

Hey without these things I can do

But without your love I can't make it through

But if you don't understand my point of view

Then there's not a damn thing I can do

Chorus:

Did you stand by me?

No not at all

Did you stand by me?

No way

Did you stand by me?

No not at all

Did you stand by me?

No way
