^ The lyrics tell of a Man
phoning the Woman whom he loves, urging her to meet him at a train station in
Clarksville before he must leave, possibly forever.
There is no explicit reference to
War in the song, but its last line, "And I don't know if I'm ever coming
home," was an indirect reference to a Soldier leaving for the Vietnam War.
"The Last Train To
Clarksville" was released in 1966. ^
