Lyric Trains Make Me Lonesome - George Strait

Lyric Song Trains Make Me Lonesome: I was 5 years old the day
Daddy started packing
And I stood there by my momma
as she cried
And the next thing that we knew
some old train came passing through
and Daddy got on board
and we ain t seen him no more

CHORUS

I wonder why trains make me lonesome
It happens everytime that engine moans some
And when I hear that whistle blow
Well it makes my heart sink low
And I wonder why trains make me lonesome


It was a cold dark night
when I drove her to the depot
There were tears in my eyes
and a ticket in her hand
And as we stood there by those tracks
I knew she wasn t coming back
So I turned and walked away
but I still miss her today

CHORUS

This office building looks like
Central Station
Those ink spots look like
engine number nine
And this couch on which I lay
Is supposed to haul my blues away
And that old pipe that you keep toking
Is like an old coal engine smoking

CHORUS
