That's Why Trains are Lonesome

Another lonesome night has come for me to sit and cry

And to think about a love that I called mine

I gave my heart and soul to her, but clearly not enough

To keep her here with me and not just on my mind

She walked out and left me in the middle of the night

Headin' for the station in the rain

I could hear the whistle cryin' as she rolled on out of sight

Now I think of her each time I hear a train

That's why trains are lonesome

I can't stand to hear the sounds comin' from the track

That's why trains are lonesome

They only let me know that she's never comin' back

I'd be alright

If I only thought about her one a day

But I can't stand to let her go

'Cause I feel her right beside me with the passin' of these trains

That's why trains are lonesome

I can't stand to hear the sounds comin' from the track

That's why trains are lonesome

They only let me know that she's never comin' back
