I'm sittin' in a restaurant drinking coffee black They call it Union Station but it ain't got no tracks I'm thinking 'bout my baby, stuck somewhere up north And the trains don't run from Nashville anymore This used to be where people stepped aboard a dream Now it's just an old hotel, people come to see If I could buy a ticket I'd be in his arms once more But the trains don't run from Nashville anymore Just one more time I'd like to hear The rumble and the roar Taking lonely hearts like mine From here to every shore Lord, I miss my baby like I never have before And the trains don't run from Nashville anymore Momma waved goodbye to daddy as he went off to war She stood right here crying back in sixty-four And now it's me that stands here all alone on this old platform And the trains don't run from Nashville anymore
