Donna Hughes Sad Old Train Lyrics

Sad Old Train Lyrics

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
