The Monkees – Last Train to Clarksville

Last Train to Clarksville

Hey music lovers! Today, I want to introduce you to a classic tune that will transport you back to the swinging 60s. It’s none other than “Last Train to Clarksville” by The Monkees.

Released in 1966 as the debut single from their self-titled album, “Last Train to Clarksville” quickly became a chart-topping hit. Written by Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart, this catchy pop-rock track captures the essence of the era with its infectious melodies and upbeat rhythm.

The composition history of this song is quite interesting. Boyce and Hart originally wrote it with the intention of pitching it to The Byrds. However, when they played it for The Monkees, the band fell in love with it and decided to record it themselves. And boy, are we glad they did!

Now, let’s talk about the meaning behind the lyrics. “Last Train to Clarksville” tells the story of a young man who receives a letter from his girlfriend, urging him to meet her at the train station in Clarksville. The urgency in the lyrics reflects the anxiety and uncertainty of the Vietnam War era, where young men were being drafted into the military.

This song had a significant influence on the music scene of the time. It helped establish The Monkees as a prominent pop-rock band and paved the way for their success in the years to come. With its catchy hooks and memorable chorus, “Last Train to Clarksville” remains a beloved classic that continues to captivate audiences today.

Last Train to Clarksville – The Monkees lyrics

🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤

Take the last train to Clarksville
And I’ll meet you at the station
You can be here by 4:30
‘Cause I’ve made your reservation

Don’t be slow
Oh, no, no, no
Oh, no, no, no

‘Cause I’m leavin’ in the morning
And I must see you again
We’ll have one more night together
‘Til the morning brings my train

And I must go
Oh, no, no, no
Oh, no, no, no
And I don’t know if I’m ever comin’ home

Take the last train to Clarksville
I’ll be waiting at the station
We’ll have time for coffee flavored kisses
And a bit of conversation

Oh, no, no, no
Oh, no, no, no

Take the last train to Clarksville
Now I must hang up the phone
I can’t hear you in this noisy railroad station, all alone

I’m feelin’ low
Oh, no, no, no
Oh, no, no, no
And I don’t know if I’m ever coming home

Oh

Take the last train to Clarksville
And I’ll meet you at the station
You can be here by 4:30
‘Cause I’ve made your reservation

Don’t be slow
Oh, no, no, no
Oh, no, no, no
And I don’t know if I’m ever coming home

Take the last train to Clarksville
Take the last train to Clarksville
Take the last train to Clarksville
Take the last train to Clarksville
