eleanor it seems your heart's on your sleeve
& it's the reason that you want to leave
so if you're going to go
just go just go
we've come to understand that the letter in your hand
it came from a boy who won't be your man
& it's tragic it's true
but don't let it ruin this town for you
eleanor, it seems that train's going to leave
& you'd better hurry if that's what you need
but if you still don't know
don't go oh honey don't go
& it's the reason that you want to leave
so if you're going to go
just go just go
we've come to understand that the letter in your hand
it came from a boy who won't be your man
& it's tragic it's true
but don't let it ruin this town for you
