[Verse 1]
On a September morning
She came without warning
Said, "Ain't it a beautiful day"
The dust on her feet
And songs she would sing
Singin' 'bout flying away
She sang about flying away
And there's one place she wants to see

[Chorus]
Waitin' on the last train to heaven
She hopes that she makes it on time
Waitin' on the last train to heaven
She hopes it don't leave her behind

[Verse 2]
I've been hoping maybe
Someone might save me
Lately, I've gone off the rails
I've been running too long
Strung out and gone
Tryin' to find my way out of this hell
I gotta find my way out of this hell

[Chorus]
Waitin' on the last train to heaven
She hopes that she makes it on time
Waitin' on the last train to heaven
She hopes it don't leave her behind
Waitin' on the last train to heaven
She hopes it don't take too long
Waitin' on the last train to heaven
She hopes it ain't already gone
[Post-Chorus]
'Cause this ain't where she belongs

[Chorus]
Waitin' on the last train to heaven
She hopes that she makes it on time
Waitin' on the last train to heaven
She hopes it don't leave her behind
Waitin' on the last train to heaven
She hopes it don't take too long
Waitin' on the last train to heaven
She hopes it ain't already gone

[Outro]
On a September morning
She came without warning
Said, "Ain't it a beautiful day"
