[Verse 1]
The sun slips through the broken blinds, through the dusty panes
Casts a shadow across the bed where you and I once lay
Your perfume lingers though you're gone, my poor old heart will break
I'm lonesome as the whistle on the evening train

[Chorus]
The jukebox plays a sad old song, I pray to God above
You'll come riding back to me on a train of love

[Verse 2]
I walk down to the station and watch the trains go by
Stare into my coffee, just looking for a sign
That one day you'll step off that train and forgive me for my crimes
Take my hand and walk with me to the end of the line

[Chorus]
The jukebox plays a sad old song, I pray to God above
You'll come riding back to me on a train of love

[Bridge]
I never knew I was lucky 'til my luck all slipped away
I gambled with the devil and the devil made me pay
My dreams never came true like the roses never bloomed
They withered and they died in this empty room
[Verse 3]
The light is gone, the night is here, the day is left behind
The rumble of a distant train slithers through my mind
Your photograph is faded but the memory still remains
Your eyes burn in the tail lights on the midnight train

[Chorus]
The jukebox plays a sad old song, I pray to God above
You'll come riding back to me on a train of love
The jukebox plays a sad old song, I pray to God above
You'll come riding back to me on a train of love

[Refrain]
Train of love
Train of love

[Chorus]
The jukebox plays a sad old song, I pray to God above
You'll come riding back to me on a train of love
The jukebox plays a sad old song, I pray to God above
You'll come riding back to me on a train of love

[Refrain]
Train of love
Train of love
Train of love
