Lyrics George Strait – Trains Make Me Lonesome

I was 5 years old
When Daddy started packing
And I stood there by my momma
As she cried

Chorus:
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 coming back
So I turned and walked away
But I still miss her today

Chorus

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 enging smoking

Chorus
