The Trains Are Gone Lyrics

Colter Wall The Trains Are Gone

[Verse 1]
The trains are gone, the trains are gone
Spent like the coal they once rolled on
The rails don't hum, the 'bos don't bunk
No brake-men yodelin' those rail yard songs

[Verse 2]
Granddad's ranch dried up fast
Ol' Johnny Chisum, he's seen to that
He's seen to that, matter of fact
Just as sure as Billy-boy got slain by Pat

[Verse 3]
I know I'm young, I know I'm young
I've seen too few a settin' sun
But the more I run the changes come
Swift as a freight train, the kind that's gone

[Outro]
The trains are gone, the trains are gone
Spent like the coal they once rolled on
