          D                                                  G  
I used to lay awake at night and listen for that train outta Jackson  
           D                                                              A 
Well she'd blow her whistle loud and long when she came ‘cross the county line  
           D                                             G 
And it was twenty miles to go before it ever got over to our town 
          D                            A                       D 
Lord, I'd stare at those southern stars and wish she was by my side 
  
 
Chorus: 
     G                                    D 
That train I swear it sounded like it was cryin'  
    A                G                  D 
The way she did when she walked out the door  
           G                                          D   
She wanted everyone in that town to know that she was leavin'  
               A                   G                         D 
She caught the train outta Jackson, she wont be back here anymore  
 
  
Well, that was 20 years ago and that train, it don't run outta Jackson  
Yeah, they shut that sweet thang down when the interstate came thru  
And I'd give anything if I could hear that lonesome whistle blowin'  
Lord, I'd give my soul for one night, one more night with you  
  
Repeat chorus twice

I love those lyrics. That's country, right there.

Nice pickin', too. Awesome riff.
-twizzle05 | 9/28/2005
Larry....I gotta tell ya. I have a problem. I have this version and the other one in my head......I can't get this one out. Again....good job bro.!!!!!
-P.A.LinZ | 9/28/2005
Sorry man - it's a catchy little ditty, ain't it? I had several VERY good comments at open mic last night - I am considering cleaning this up and putting into a publisher I know...

-lmofle | 9/28/2005
I've shown it to several people....all with good reaction. I think it's a good'un.
-P.A.LinZ | 9/28/2005
Well it's a co-write so we can share it this forever!
-lmofle | 9/28/2005
Good tune. I can't find the words to decribe it, which is odd for me.
All I can say is wow!! Now that's country.

-macg1 | 9/28/2005
I was listening to the mp3,and I wondered if it would be possible if I had permission to record a version of it,and pay you royalties for this song,or any song you'd be willing to? If not,that's alright.I just like your songwriting,and I'd like to sing it.
-macg1 | 12/26/2005
Yep! Think it will be a hit.
