That morning the sun made its way
Through the windshield of my Chevrolet
Whiskey eyes and ashtray breath
On a church rock gravel road
What the hell did I do last night?
That's the story of my life
Like trying to remember words
To a song nobody wrote
And it's sad and it's long
Can't nobody sing along
It's a southbound train
It's a whistle and the wind
Ain't no one there to care
Where I've been
I'm humming on that lonesome song again
I took a trip across the country from Montgomery
Discovered I'd been wrong for so long
I thought it was the fame
And the glory and the money
But all I've got to show
Is a damn song
And it's sad and it's long
Can't nobody sing along
It's a southbound train
It's a whistle and the wind
Ain't no one there to care
There's a sound and a wind
There's no one there to sing to in the end
I'm humming on that lonesome song again
I'm humming on that lonesome song again
And it's sad and it's long
Can't nobody sing along
It's a southbound train
It's a whistle and the wind
Ain't no one there to care
Where I've been
I'm humming on that lonesome song again
I'm humming on that lonesome song again
I'm humming on that lonesome song again
That morning the sun made its way
Through the windshield of my car
of my Chevrolet
Whiskey eyes
and ashtray breath
on a church rock gravel road
piano plays softly
