    Lyrics:
    If you wanna roll me, then you gotta roll me all night long
    And if you wanna use me, then you gotta use me til I’m gone
    I’m not a fallen angel, I just fell behind
    I’m out of luck and I’m out of time
    If you don’t wanna love me, let me go
    I’m runnin for the last train
    I’m runnin for the last train home
    If you wanna know me, then you gotta know me through and through
    And if you’re gonna hurt me, then you gotta hold me next to you
    No matter how you work it, things go wrong
    I put my heart where it don’t belong
    So if you’re comin with me let me know
    Maybe you’re the last train
    Maybe you’re the last train home
    I’m on the last train runnin
    I’m on the last train runnin
    And I surrender
    And I surrender

    Who else came hear from "The Bear"? Love this song so much, sent it to so many people. A bit of Toto "Africa" meets "Midnight Train To Georgia" meets John Mayer's brilliance. Nostalgic, current, timeless, all at the same time.

      Yep came here from The Bear (about to watch Season 2). Actually Googled it as Last Train Running and got Whiskey Falls (not a bad track as it happens) and thought it was that until I looked at the playlist and then John Mayer blew it out the water!
