Lonesome Train Lyrics - J. J. Cale

Maybe I've forgotten 

The name and the address 

Of everyone I've ever known 

It's nothing I regret 

Save it for another day 

It's the school exam 

The kids have run away 

I would like a place I could call my own 

Have a conversation on the telephone 

Wake up every day, that would be a start 

I would not complain of my wounded heart 

I was upset, you see 

Almost all the time 

You used to be a stranger 

Now, you are mine

I wouldn't even trust you 

I've not got much to give 

We're dealing in the limits 

And we don't know who with 

You may think that I'm out of hand 

That I'm naive, I'll understand 

On this occasion it's not true 

Look at me, I'm not you 

I would like a place I could call my own 

Have a conversation on the telephone 

Wake up every day, that would be a start 

I would not complain of my wounded heart 

I was a short fuse 

Burning all the time 

You were a complete stranger 

Now, you are mine

I would like a place I could call my own 

Have a conversation on the telephone 

Wake up every day, that would be a start 

I would not complain about my wounded heart 

Just wait 'til tomorrow 

I guess that's what they all say 

Just before they fall apart
