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
