Lyrics
Lonesome Song Written by Jason Paulson
On a frozen road I find a tear
I haven't seen this place in almost 20 years
They closed the store on the edge of town
I wonder if that train still comes around
The grain elevator is covered in rust
It looks like everyone's just given up
Or followed the tracks right out of here
The lonesome whistle blowing is growing near
Chorus
Lonesome song, Lonesome song
The freedom that you gave me always made me strong
Lonesome song, Lonesome song
How I dreamed of running fast and holding on
Oh let your whistle play me one more lonesome song
This is the town where I lost my childhood
And the prayers never seemed to do much good
But every night god sent me a sign
A lonesome whistle blowing right on time
Lying on a mattress lying on the floor
Trying to forget the other side of that door
Somehow it eased a young boy's pain
The sound of a midnight train
Chorus
Lonesome song, Lonesome song
The freedom that you gave me always made me strong
Lonesome song, Lonesome song
How I dreamed of running fast and holding on
Oh let your whistle play me one more lonesome song
Dirty street the middle of the night
A grown man with a tear in his eye
I know I should be moving on
But I'll just listen to one more Lonesome song
Chorus
Lonesome song, Lonesome song
The freedom that you gave me always made me strong
Lonesome song, Lonesome song
How I dreamed of running fast and holding on
Oh let your whistle play me one more lonesome song
