Hear that old train whistle howling in the night And if that flyer's southbound things will be all right I'm leaving now, I'm leaving now, leaving now I'm gonna get back home somehow Don't nobody tell me, baby's been untrue If she's been unfaithful, I don't know what I'll do I'm leaving now, leaving now, leaving now I'm gonna get back home somehow Never thought that I could miss her so I never thought I could but now I know That the sound of the old train whistle makes me want to cry Reminds me of that lonely feeling when I said goodbye I'm leaving now, leaving now, leaving now I'm gonna get back home somehow Never thought that I could miss her so I never thought I could but now I know The sound of the old train whistle makes me want to cry Reminds me of that lonely feeling when I said goodbye I'm leaving now, well I'm leaving now, leaving now I'm gonna get back home somehow
