Train In Vain

Dwight Yoakam · Platinum Collection [2006]

They say you stand by your man

Tell me something I don't understand

You said you love me oh, and that's a fact

And then you left me, said you felt trapped

Well there's some things you can't explain away

And this heartache's with me to this day



Chorus:

Did you stand by me?

No not at all

Did you stand by me?

No way



All the times that we were close,

I remember these things the most

I've seen my dreams come tumbling down

I can't be happy without you around

So alone I keep the wolves at bay

And there's only one thing I can say



Chorus:

Did you stand by me?

No not at all

Did you stand by me?

No way



Chorus:

Did you stand by me?

No not at all

Did you stand by me?

No way



--- Instrumental ---



So explain why this must be

Did you lie when you spoke to me? hey



Chorus:

Did you stand by me?

No not at all

Did you stand by me?

No way



I got a job but it don't pay

I need new clothes,

Somewhere to stay

Hey, without these things I can do

But without your love

I can't make it through

But if you don't understand

My point of view

Then there's not a damn thing I can do



Chorus:

Did you stand by me?

No not at all

Did you stand by me?

No way



Chorus:

Did you stand by me?

No not at all

Did you stand by me?

No way...
