Intro: People expect you to fall You hit that same old wall Really they don’t wanna help at all They talk behind your back today Shake their heads and say "Gee I always knew that the girl would come to no good anyway" Pre-Chorus Gonna pack my bags and go to Detroit or Buffalo If anybody wants to know where you don’t know you don’t know God knows everybody’s gotta go sometime And I’m taking the train to the end of the line yeah Missing that boy a mile at a time I haven’t been too well myself Too much time upon the shelf Saying that I don’t need help when I do I do But I think I’m gonna be just fine A lot of friends a little wine Still I’m wishing that I could see you again sometime Pre-Chorus I’m gonna pack my bags and go to Detroit or Buffalo But if anybody wants to know where you don’t know you don’t know God knows everybody’s gotta go sometime And I’m taking the train to the end of the line yeah Missing that boy a mile at a time Instrumental: It’s hard to open up that door Like you’ve done so many times before Sometimes you think you just can’t do this anymore Take a chance and take a train Out into the pouring rain When all you got there is your suitcase full of pain Pre-Chorus I’m gonna pack my bags and go to Detroit or Buffalo But if anybody wants to know where I don’t know I don’t know God knows everybody’s gotta go sometime And I’m taking the train to the end of the line yeah Missing that boy a mile at a time OUTRO: (## fade to end ##) I dreamed he’d wanna stay I don’t wanna waste away God knows everybody’s gotta go God knows everybody’s gotta go God knows everybody’s gotta go

À propos de la chanson

La chanson parle de la difficulté de faire face aux attentes des autres et de la solitude qui peut en résulter. Elle évoque le souhait de fuir une situation pesante, tout en cherchant un sens et une connexion avec un être cher qui manque. L'artiste exprime un mélange de vulnérabilité et de détermination, avec l'idée que chacun doit finalement choisir son propre chemin. Dans ce contexte, il semble que l'artiste traverse une période de réflexion sur sa vie, cherchant à s'éloigner des jugements extérieurs et à embrasser l'incertitude du voyage. La mention de destinations comme Detroit ou Buffalo symbolise un désir de changement et d'évasion, tout en reconnaissant l'importance de la foi en Dieu pour guider ce parcours.
