I know how to hit the road
Know how to go it alone
Down some dark highway

But I, I ain't been here before
Some southern bound platform
My love gone away

It's like somebody else is at the wheel
Driving 500 tonnes of steel and that's as half as heavy as my heart
And I can hear the trains cry
Now I finally now why it's the most lonesome sound
Yeah I, I know why the trains cry
They're leaving with goodbye
They can't just turn around

This, this is the life I picked
And this is the love that I can give
But it's always heading out of town

Yeah, somebody is at the wheel
Timed like a thief coming and stealing
Take me away from where you are

And I can hear the trains cry
Now I finally know why it's the most lonesome sound
Yeah I, I know why the trains cry
They're leaving with goodbye
They can't just turn around
No they can't just turn around
I can't just turn around
