Lyrics:

Well, it's so hard
To listen to these trains
Outside my window
Here it comes again
And it's calling me
Begging me:
'Follow me down the track'
And it moans so dark and low:
'Baby ain't comin' back'

Well, I refuse to believe
It could happen to me
And you
But it's lonesome
And it's hard
And it's true

I got this whiskey
To take care of my lips
I got these long cool steel strings
At my fingertips
And I ain't got nothing
I ain't got nothing
To soothe my aching soul
Except this screeching
And screaming iron
To tell me where I ought to go

Well, I refuse to believe
It could happen to me
And you
But it's lonesome
And it's hard
And it's true

And I hear the train sigh
And idle down below
Why your love is so sweet and wild
Is something I'll never know

And it sounds like crying
And it sounds like letting go
Oh, breathing and lying
Sinking and dying slow
And I watch from my window
Touching the cold glass sky
And as the train rolls down the track
I say: 'Goodbye'

You want to take me home
And I wanna go
I wanna, wanna, wanna go

People wanna know
People wanna know
Take, take, take, take me home
No, no, no, no, no
One two three four
