I Hope It's Not A Train

I was sittin' at the bar drinkin' a beer
Feelin' real sorry for myself `cause I’d been lonely for years
When this gorgeous red head hit on me with all her charms
She looked perfect except for that tattoo on her arm

There's one dark cloud in a bright blue sky
I hope it's not full of rain
There's light at the end of the tunnel
I hope it's not a train

She’s been here lovin' me the last three nights
Says that she's gonna stay with me for the rest of my life
With every kiss I'm a little bit closer to really believin'
But that tattoo on her arm says, "Love ’em and leave ‘em"

There's one dark cloud in a bright blue sky
I hope it's not full of rain
There's light at the end of the tunnel
I hope it's not a train
