One After 909
Love's Departure: A Journey on the One After 909
Lyrics
My baby said she's trav'ling on the one after 909
Expressing that the speaker's partner is taking the train designated as "the one after 909."
I said move over honey I'm traveling on that line
The speaker declares their intention to join the partner on the same train and requests space.
I said move over once, move over twice
Repeated requests for the partner to make room for the speaker on the train.
Come on baby don't be cold as ice.
Encouraging the partner not to be emotionally distant or unresponsive.
Said she's trav'ling on the one after 909.
Reiteration of the partner's plan to travel on the train "the one after 909."
I begged her not to go and I begged her on my bended knees,
The speaker pleads with the partner not to leave, emphasizing desperation on bended knees.
You're only fooling around, you're fooling around with me.
Accusing the partner of engaging in a casual or insincere relationship with the speaker.
I said move over once, move over twice
Repeated requests for the partner to make space on the train.
Come on baby don't be cold as ice.
Encouraging the partner to be more emotionally receptive and warm.
Said she's trav'ling on the one after 909.
Reiterating the partner's plan to travel on the train "the one after 909."
I got my bag, run to the station
The speaker prepares to leave, grabbing a bag and heading to the station.
Railman says you've got the the wrong location
The railway worker informs the speaker that they are at the wrong location or platform.
I got my bag, run right home
The speaker returns home after the station confusion.
Then I find I've got the number wrong
Realizing that the speaker got the train number wrong after returning home.
Well she said she's trav'ling on the one after 909
Repeating the partner's plan to travel on the train "the one after 909."
I said move over honey I'm traveling on that line
The speaker reiterates the intention to join the partner on the same train and requests space.
I said move over once, move over twice
Repeated requests for the partner to make room on the train.
Come on baby don't be cold as ice.
Encouraging the partner not to be emotionally distant or unresponsive.
Said she's trav'ling on the one after 9-0,
Repeating that the partner is traveling on "the one after 909."
Said she's trav'ling on the one after 9-0,
Continued repetition of the partner's plan to travel on "the one after 909."
Said she's trav'ling on the one after 909.
Final repetition of the partner's plan to travel on "the one after 909."
