Another lonesome night has come for me to sit and cry
And to think about a love that I called mine
I gave my heart and soul to her, but clearly not enough
To keep her here with me and not just on my mind
She walked out and left me in the middle of the night Headin' for the station in the rain
I could hear the whistle cryin' as she rolled on out of sight
Now I think of her each time I hear a train
* That's why trains are lonesome I can't stand to hear the sounds comin' from the track
That's why trains are lonesome They only let me know that she's never comin' back
I'd be alright
If I only thought about her one a day But I can't stand to let her go
'Cause I feel her right beside me With the passin' of these trains
