I heard that warnin' whistle blowin'. I knew that train was comin' fast. The sound of the wheels was hypnotisin': I could not move from it's path: I just stood there, glued to the tracks. It was a long time comin': She was a heartbreak waitin' to happen, An' I went right along. It was a long time comin'. Before I knew what hit me, she was gone: She was so gone. Those cold black eyes that burned right through me, Could melt a heart of steel. I just pulled her closer to me, 'Cause I loved the way it made me feel, Underneath her wheels. It was a long time comin': She was a heartbreak waitin' to happen, An' I went right along. It was a long time comin'. Before I knew what hit me, she was gone: She was so gone. It was a long time comin'. Before I knew what hit me, she was gone: Before I knew what hit me, she was gone: She was so gone, So gone. So gone. So gone.
