Leaving Trains Year: 2007 | Run Time: 5:19
Written by Bill Mallonee

falling rain swinging door
no one buying records too much anymore
neon glass folks walk past
storefront window on the world

they trace their feet
to an empty seat
by that windowpane
on the leaving trains

the scratch and hiss old stylus
come have a listen to his master's voice
most of what you know acuff-rose
the circle of truth is still unbroken

are you chasing or being chased
which one are you
you might find a deeper voice
down in the groove

step in here for a minute son sit yourself down dear
let me spin you one of those tunes from yesteryear
three minutes to explain sure you'll make your train
those melodies they ride for free
