Train In Vain — Dwight Yoakam

(mick jones, joe strummer)

They say you stand by your man

Tell me something I dont understand

You said you love me and thats a fact

And then you left me, said you felt trapped

Well some things you cant explain away

But the heartaches with me to this day

Chorus

Did you stand by me?

No not at all

Did you stand by me?

No way

All the times that we were close,

I remember these things the most

Ive seen my dreams come tumbling down

I cant be happy without you around

So alone I keep the wolves at bay

And theres only one thing I can say

Chorus

Did you stand by me?

No not at all

Did you stand by me?

No way

So explain why this must be

Did you lie when you spoke to me?

Chorus

Hey, did you stand by me?

No not at all

Did you stand by me?

No way

I got a job but it dont pay

I need new clothes, somewhere to stay

Hey without these things I can do

But without your love I cant make it through

But if you dont understand my point of view

Then theres not a damn thing I can do

Chorus

Did you stand by me?

No not at all

Did you stand by me?

No way

Did you stand by me?

No not at all

Did you stand by me?

No way
