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
