Trains Made Me Lonesome Lyrics

I was five years old when daddy started packing
And I stood there by my momma as she cried
And the next thing that we knew some old train came pa*sing through
And daddy got on board and we ain't seen him no more
I wonder why trains make me lonesome it happens everytime that engine moans some
And when I hear that whistle blow 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 comin' back
So I turned and walked away but I still miss her today
I wonder why trains make me lonesome...

This office building looks like central station those ink spots look engine No 9
And this couch on which I lay suppose to haul my blues away
That old pipe you keep toking is like an old cold engine smoking
I wonder why trains make me lonesome...
Oh yes I wonder why trains make me lonesome
