That mornin' sun made its way

Through the windshield of my Chevrolet

Whiskey eyes and ashtray breath

On a chert rock gravel road

What the hell did I do last night?

That's the story of my life

Like tryin' to remember words

To a song nobody wrote

And it's sad and it's long

And can't nobody sing along?

It's a south bound train

It's a whistle in the wind

Ain't no one there to care where I've been

I'm hummin' 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

And can't nobody sing along?

It's a south bound train

It's a whistle in the wind

There's no one there to sing to in the end

I'm hummin' on that lonesome song again

And it's sad and it's long

Can't nobody sing along

It's a south bound train

It's a whistle in the wind

Ain't no one there to care where I've been

I'm hummin' on that lonesome song again

That mornin' sun made its way

Through the windshield of my Chevrolet

Whiskey eyes and ashtray breath

On a chert rock gravel road
