PureNote Music Production - The Lonesome Train Ride Lyrics

I woke up this mornin' with a heart like a rusty nail
Dreams we once shared now haunt me like a hound on a trail
Momma hollered, "Son, that worryin' ain't no solution,"
But I just stared out the window, stuck in my own confusion

Now I'm ridin' this train, bound for nowhere real fast
Wheels keep a-clackin' 'bout the love that couldn't last
That whistle's got a twang like a bluegrass moan
Hopin' I'll find mercy on this lonesome ride alone

My dog Bubba's waggin', but he don't know my pain
He's my faithful friend while I'm drownin' in the rain
We sit by the tracks, watchin' hours roll by
Wonderin' if heartbreak's just a curse or a lie

Now I'm ridin' this train, bound for nowhere real fast
Wheels keep a-clackin' 'bout the love that couldn't last
That whistle's got a twang like a bluegrass moan
Hopin' I'll find mercy on this lonesome ride alone

I picture you, darlin', like sweet tea in July
Your laughter lit my darkness, always sparklin' in your eyes
But this train won't stall for the regrets that I hold
Each mile is a reminder of the stories left untold

The engine keeps rumblin', but I can't shake your name
Scenery changes, yet the hurt burns the same
Momma said, "Baby, time's the best medicine,"
But these tracks stretch forever like a long-lost friend

Now I'm ridin' this train, bound for nowhere real fast
Wheels keep a-clackin' 'bout the love that couldn't last
That whistle's got a twang like a bluegrass moan
Hopin' I'll find mercy on this lonesome ride alone

So here I stand, half the man I used to be
If these rails lead to glory, Lord, please set me free
