It´s so hard to listen to these trains
Outside my window here it comes again
And it´s calling me begging me
Follow me down the track
And it moans so dark and low
Baby ain´t comin´ back

I refuse to believe
It could happen to me and you
It´s lonesome and it´s hard and it´s true

I got this whiskey to take care of my lips
I got these long cool steel strings
At my fingertips
I ain´t got nothing to soothe my aching soul
Except this screeching and screaming iron
To tell me where I ought to go

I refuse to believe
It could happen to me and you
It´s lonesome and it´s hard and it´s true

And I hear the train sigh
And idle down below
Why your love is so sweet and wild
Is something I´ll never know

It sounds like crying
It sounds like letting go
Breathing and lying
Sinking and dying slow
And I watch from my window
Touching the cold glass sky
As the train rolls down the track
I say goodbye
