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
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 '64
And now it's me that stands here all alone on this old 
platform
And 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
