Ne'er Too Late

On a train bound for Texas
I met a man without a name
We laughed and shared a joke together
The evening rolled over the plain
He wiped his chin as he told me
Stars were just holes in the night
The misses of the broken-hearted
Who tried to shoot the moon as it went by
I made it home to my darlin'
The preacher knelt by her side
Her mother was cryin' in the doorway
My true love had recently died
