Clarksville Meaning

 


^ 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. ^
