Sad Old Train - Donna Hughes, Carl Jackson, Sonya Isaacs

That sad old train

Sleeping on an old rusty track

She was from another time

Gone with the wind like the smoke from that ole stack

She brought smiles and waving hands

As she whistled by a sleepy town

It was once the way to go

Just a shiny nickel and you were homeward bound

Chorus: I’ve seen better days

Like that sad old train

On an old abandoned track

When you were holding me

I knew someday you’d leave

Like that old train

You won’t be coming back

She gently rumbled in the sunshine

As she carried home the mail

Her letters keeping lovers waiting

Friendly little boys placing pennies on her rails I can relate to that old train

Since you left me all alone again

No one ever comes around

Once upon time we were riding on the wind

Chorus: I’ve seen better days

Like that old sad train

On an old forgotten track

When you were holding me

I knew someday you’d leave

Like that old train

You won’t be coming back

Like that old train

Never coming back
