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.
