Trains Make Me Lonesome Lyrics - George Strait

I was five years old 

When daddy started packing 

And I stood there by my momma 

As she cried 

And the next thing that we knew 

Some old train came passing through 

And daddy got on board 

And we ain't seen him no more. 

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: 

I wonder why trains make me lonesome 

It happens everytime that engine moans some 

Now, when I hear that whistle blow 

It makes my heart sink low 

And I wonder why trains make me lonesome. 

Photos 

Those blocks looked like little stations 

Those ink spots look like 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 coal engine smoking. 

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. 

Oh yes, I wonder why trains make me lonesome...
