That mornin' sun made it's 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 southbound 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,

can't nobody sing along

It's a southbound 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 southbound train,

it's a whistle in the wind

There's no one there to

care where I've been

I'm hummin' on that lonesome song again

The mornin' sun made it's way

Through the windshield of my Chevrolet

Whiskey eyes and ashtray breath

On a chert rock gravel road
