[Verse 1]
There's an old soul waitin' to be born
There's a scarecrow standing in the corn
One of them's wishing for the light of day
One of them is chasing all the black crows away

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Well I got me a one-way ticket just to get me from where I am
And the wheels are turnin' on the last train to Amsterdam

[Verse 3]
I was standing a little south of Fate
There ain't no exit from the interstate
There's one way in, it's a long dirt road
There's only one way out, Robert Johnson knows
[Chorus 2]
Well I'm standing at the station now and I don't know where I am
And the wheels are turnin' on the last train to Amsterdam

[Verse 4]
There's a hobo waitin' on a train
There's a hitchhiker standing in the rain
One of them knows he's never going home
The other one is feeling God down in his bones

[Chorus]
Well I got me a one-way ticket just to get me from where I am
And the wheels are turnin' on the last train to Amsterdam
And the wheels are turnin' on the last train to Amsterdam
