Every Time A Train Goes By

Writer: Conrad Fisher

I found a seat next to a man who looked like he'd been round enough to know
And just to hear him talk I asked him where do all these lonely people go
He just shook his head and laughed and said It seems to me we're pretty much the same
Cause no matter where you're going I guess everybody's waiting on a train

Some are waiving from the windows, some put nickels on the track
Some are home by morning light, and some ain't never coming back
Can't you hear the whistle blowing lonesome, don't it make you want to cry?
Somewhere there's a heart a breakin', every time a train goes by

Some are lovers, some are leavers, most everybody's caught somewhere between
Some are winners, some are losers, some are headed back and some ain't never been
Some are off for a vacation, some just want to get out of the rain
Some are witching some are sleeping but most everybody's waiting on a train

Some are waiving from the windows, some put nickels on the track
Some are home by morning light, and some ain't never coming back
Can't you hear the whistle blowing lonesome, don't it make you want to cry?
Somewhere there's a heart a breakin', every time a train goes by

Some are waiving from the windows, some put nickels on the track
Some are home by morning light, and some ain't never coming back
Can't you hear the whistle blowing lonesome, don't it make you want to cry?
Somewhere there's a heart a breakin', every time a train goes by

Somewhere there's a heart a breakin', every time a train goes by
