I caught the train to San Francisco I would've flown but I can't stand planes I'm just a blur in Luis Obispo I'm just a nose on a windowpane I'll stay only for an evening I'll play just a one man band I'll stay only till I'm leaving I'll play just a one night stand I hit the depot half-past seven I took the bus to a cheap motel I went to sleep and I dreamed of Heaven When I awoke I was back in Hell I'll stay only for an evening I'll play just a one man band I'll stay only till I'm leaving I'll play just a one night stand I caught the train for to see Seattle I would've flown but I can't stand planes People go by like so many cattle I'm just a nose on a windowpane I'll stay only for an evening I'll play just a one man band I'll stay only till I'm leaving I'll play just a one night stand
