I Miss a Lot of Trains

Tom T. Hall

Compositor: Tom T. Hall

When the train pulls in the station you'll be waiting by the track
You're having trouble sleepin' nights you want me to come back
But that old train will roll on by you'll know I never came
'Cause I sleep good and miss a lot of trains.

I sleep good and I miss a lot of trains
That oneway track to no man's luck I'll never ride again
I used to lie awake like you calling out your name
Now I sleep good and I miss a lot of trains.

You're standing in the station I can see you in my mind
You think that I'll forgive again but you're so wrong this time
Your sleepless eyes and selfish heart are waiting there in vain
While I sleep good and miss a lot of trains.

I sleep good and I miss a lot of trains
That oneway track to no man's luck I'll never ride again
I used to lie awake like you calling out your name
Now I sleep good and I miss a lot of trains...
