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
