My Destination

When I was a child and all the world was new

I met a little girl just a sweet as mornin' dew

And she gave me a promise

I hope will last forever more

I was just a country boy who had it in his mind

To leave that country town just to see what I could find

But I knew I'd come back

To find the girl I loved before

And love, love, love was my destination

I traveled so far to be with you again

And the train, train, train will leave me at the station

Will you be there to take me by the hand

In my pocket is a letter you wrote me long ago

'Bout how you'd always love even if I had to go

But it's just a piece of paper

And you were just a child

And the picture that I have of you is all faded and brown

But it's all I've got to get me back to the old hometown

Where you'll be waiting for me

Like you promised that you would

And love, love, love was my destination

I traveled so far to be with you again

And the train, train, train will leave me at the station

Will you be there to take me by the hand

Pulled into the depot, for ten years I've been gone

And would I know what you like after being gone so long

Then I thought I caught a glimpse

Of that long golden hair

But it was just an illusion

'Cause you were no where to be found

I was lost in the confusion

And the train pulled out just as I turned around

And love, love, love was my destination

I traveled so far to be with you again

And the train, train, train has left me at the station

Left me alone to hang my head and cry

Left me alone to hang my head and cry
