She Ain't Coming Back
Love's Departure: A Railroad of Regret by Davisson Brothers Band
Lyrics
That old train she's a clickety clackin'
Describing the rhythmic sound of an old train
Down the track she's highball jackin'
The train is moving fast down the tracks
cin't coming back
Expressing that the train is not returning
She ain't comin' back
Reiterating that she won't come back
She's goin' back to Cumberland
She's returning to Cumberland, her place of origin
Going back to where she comes from
Heading back to her hometown
Engineer could you turn that thing around
Requesting the engineer to turn the train around, possibly expressing regret
Well I guess I should have listened
Regretting not paying attention to what she said
cll the things she said I's missin'
Reflecting on the things she mentioned and realizing their importance
Now her locomotion's burning up the ground
Metaphorically describing her departure as the train's motion burning up the ground
Well that old train she's a clickity clackin'
Repeating the sound of the train, emphasizing its departure
Down the track, highball jackin'
Reiterating the fast movement of the train
cin't coming back
Stating again that she won't return
She ain't coming back
Reaffirming that she's not coming back
Yeah pennies, spikes and chain-links
Mentioning objects associated with train tracks, possibly reflecting on the relationship
Wonder now what her mama thinks
Wondering about her mother's opinion on the separation
Wondering how did I let such a good girl go
Reflecting on how he let a good girl go
She jumped the track and she's packin'
Describing her departure and the emotional impact on him
Tore my heart out lookin' back
Expressing deep emotional pain from looking back at the relationship
Lord I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow
Feeling sorrowful at the sound of the train whistle
Well That old train she's clickety clackin'
Repeating the sound of the train, emphasizing its continuous movement
Down the track
Reiterating the train's movement down the track
Highball jackin'
Emphasizing the speed of the train
cin't coming back
Reaffirming that she won't return
She ain't coming back
Stating again that she's not coming back
Yeah, that old train she's clickity clackin'
Repeating the description of the train and its departure
Down the track
Reiterating the train's movement down the track
Highball jackin'
Emphasizing the speed of the train
cin't coming back
Reaffirming that she won't return
She ain't coming back
Stating again that she's not coming back
Well that old train she's clickity clackin'
Repeating the description of the train and its departure
Down the track
Reiterating the train's movement down the track
Highball jackin'
Emphasizing the speed of the train
cin't coming back
Reaffirming that she won't return
She ain't coming back
Stating again that she's not coming back
Yeah that old train she's clickity clackin'
Repeating the description of the train and its departure
Down the track
Reiterating the train's movement down the track
Highball jackin'
Emphasizing the speed of the train
cin't coming back
Reaffirming that she won't return
She ain't coming back
Stating again that she's not coming back
