Let me tell a story 'bout a west-bound train
How I didn't pay attention and I wrote my name
In the fog on the windows as the walls were blown away
Maybe I was crazy, I had too much time
And I didn't pay attention and I lost my mind
What a pity is the roll of the girl I had to play

And the thought of you stayed with me for a while
It's not my style

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I'm crying on different shoulders
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I'm crying on different shoulders

I'm crying on different shoulders
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I'm crying on different shoulders
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Let me tell a story 'bout a west-bound train
How I bought my ticket, nearly changed my name
When a silly little girl saw a boy that looked like you
The air was getting thinner as we made the climb
Up the highest mountain on the edge of time
And the clouds in my eyes were the biggest kind of view

And the thought of you stayed with me for a while
It's not my style

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
I'm crying on different shoulders
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I'm crying on different shoulders

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I'm crying on different shoulders
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

And it's the silliest thing that I've had to do
To try and keep away from you
Oooh
And it's the silliest thing that I've had to lose
To try and keep ahead of you
Oooh

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I'm crying on different shoulders
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I'm crying on different shoulders
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I'm crying on different shoulders
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
I'm crying on different shoulders
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I'm crying on different shoulders
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I'm crying on different shoulders
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
