Train Songs
Nobody writes train songs anymore
No one sings about them like they did before
Sometimes I get lonely when I hear that engine roar
Nobody writes train songs any more
Those old train songs always take me back
Stonewall sang about the smoke along the track
Folsom prison from the man in black
Those old train songs always take me back
Steel rails had a rhythm all their own
I loved to hear that lonesome whistle moan
Ride to where the wind had never blown
Steel rails had a rhythm all their own
Now and then I hear that freight train call my name
If I went, I’d only have myself to blame
There’s a wild streak I’ve never learned to tame
Now and then I hear that freight train call my name
Have you ever dreamed of hopping on a train
On the roof you can hear the pounding of the rain
It has a soothing sound that takes away your pain
Have you ever dreamed of hopping on a train
Nobody writes train songs anymore
No one sings about them like they did before
Sometimes I get lonely when I hear that engine roar
Nobody writes train songs anymore.
