I know how to hit the road
I 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
[Chorus 2]
It's like somebody else is at the wheel
Driving five hundred tons of steel
And that's as half as heavy as my heart
[Verse 2]
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 a goodbye
They can't just turn around
This, this is the life I picked
And this is the love I can give
But it's always heading out of town
[Chorus 2]
Yeah somebody else is at the wheel
Time like a thief, coming to steal it
Take me away from where you are
[Verse 2]
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 a goodbye
They can't just turn around
No they can't just turn around
I can't just turn around
[Verse 1] I know how to hit the road I 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 [Chorus 2] It's like somebody else is at the wheel Driving five hundred tons of steel And that's as half as heavy as my heart [Verse 2] 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 a goodbye They can't just turn around This, this is the life I picked And this is the love I can give But it's always heading out of town [Chorus 2] Yeah somebody else is at the wheel Time like a thief, coming to steal it Take me away from where you are [Verse 2] 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 a goodbye They can't just turn around No they can't just turn around I can't just turn around Explain Request ×
