Lyrics
That Lonesome Whistle Sound (Unplugged)
You're leavin on a train
It's rollin out of sight
Will I ever be the same
Without you lovin me tonight?
I'm standin in the rain
It's finally kickin in
How will I ever stand the pain
Of never seein you again?
I'm so sorry, babe
I didn't realize
What loneliness was
'Til I heard that whistle cry
Won't you tell the engineer
He's got to turn that train around
Don't you let him leave me here
Lost in that lonesome whistle sound
(Solo)
I'm so sorry, babe
I didn't realize
What loneliness was
'Til I heard that whistle cry
So won't you tell the engineer
He's got to turn that train around
Don't you let him leave me here
Lost in that lonesome whistle sound
Don't let him leave me here
