Train That Never Runs

(Jerry Foster - Bill Rice)



An empty railroad station is a lonely place to be

And a suitcase full of mem'ries is a heavy load to carry

I've got no destination no special place to be

I'm just waitin' for a train that never runs

Lord, I'm waitin' for a train that never comes.



Tears above my ticket on a train that goes nowhere

I paid the price with heartaches a fare that seem so unfair

The silence of the moment is the only sound I hear

I'm just waitin' for a train that never runs

Lord, I'm waitin' for a train that never comes.



Measured time and cross ties the train of love is gone

Down the tracks of yesterdays I see the rails at left on

My mind is just a depot where I wait all alone

I'm just waitin' for a train that never runs

Lord, I'm waitin' for a train that never comes...
