I Miss a Lot of Trains

(Tom T. Hall)



When the train pulls in the station you'll be waiting by the track

You're having trouble sleepin' nights you want me to come back

But that old train will roll on by you'll know I never came

'Cause I sleep good and miss a lot of trains.



I sleep good and I miss a lot of trains

That oneway track to no man's luck I'll never ride again

I used to lie awake like you calling out your name

Now I sleep good and I miss a lot of trains.



You're standing in the station I can see you in my mind

You think that I'll forgive again but you're so wrong this time

Your sleepless eyes and selfish heart are waiting there in vain

While I sleep good and miss a lot of trains.



I sleep good and I miss a lot of trains

That oneway track to no man's luck I'll never ride again

I used to lie awake like you calling out your name

Now I sleep good and I miss a lot of trains...
