That sad old train Sleepin' on an old rusty track She was from another time Gone with the wind like the smoke from that old stack She brought smiles and wavin' hands As she whistled by a sleepy town It was once the way to go Just a shiny nickel and you were homeward bound And I? ve seen better days like that sad old train On an old abandoned track When you were holdin' me, I knew someday you? d leave Like that old train, you won? t be comin' back She gently rumbled in the sunshine As she carried home the mail Her letters keepin' lovers waitin' And friendly little boys placin' pennies on her rails I can relate to that old train Since you left me all alone again And no one ever comes around Once upon a time we were ridin' on the wind I? ve seen better days like that old sad train On an old forgotten track When you were holdin' me, I knew someday you? d leave Like that old train, you won? t be comin' back Like that old train, never comin' back
