Metro-North

He said oh my god

I just got fired and I slept with my boss

You know you think she would've tried

But now love is lost

And I ain't got no job

Got no 1099 money on the side

He said it's hard I feel like Sisyphus and the boulder

Especially 'cause I got syphilis when I boned her

And my cure was always to get rich and get older

So I never thought I'd be broke as fuck on this train

From New Haven I'm trucking the seven thirty something

Was $13.25 and my balance went to nothing

Now I'm tapped, it's ugly, the IRS got on me

They said I did them dirty so they cleaned me out of money

I'm not young or earning and now I got a kid

So they don't know the strife and the shithole that I'm in

He said man, I'm sorry you sat next to me on this train

I said fuck that just tell me 'bout your pain

Well I'm tired and on my own

As I train away from home

Under lights that never dim

No one will be waiting

No one will be waiting

One stop on the two train and I'm off

Quick stint on the s boi it ain't long

Look alive as I criss cross in the throng

Fly under green skies never lost

Back to the oak trees my home

Only stay for a heartbeat my fam's gone

So I'm back in the red seat onboard

Metro-North heading southerly once more

He sat up and looked out the window it was black

Like a mirror I could see all his hope in the past

And the car that he crashed

And that summer night he was jumped on Broadway

On 71st they weren't so mellow

On the ground he was seeing double

Beat around left for dead he was bleeding out his head

And now he gets migraines while he migrates on the train

And that was when we heard"I couldn't help but hear"

A woman in the aisle sympathizing with his year

She said, you've had it so rough, and trust me that I know

Since 2022 I had three cancers come and go

And now a fourth is on me it ain't hurting any less

Like my abusive ex it's been all up on my breasts

So please, come over, I need you at my side

As they sat together she told him why she cries

Well I'm tired and on my own

As I train away from home

Under lights that never dim

No one will be waiting

No one will be waiting

One stop on the two train and I'm off

Quick stint on the s boi it ain't long

Look alive as I criss cross in the throng

Fly under green skies never lost

Back to the oak trees my home

Only stay for a heartbeat my fam's gone

So I'm back in the red seat onboard

Metro-North heading southerly once more

Once more
