Bobby Goldsboro - The L&N Don't Stop Here Anymore Lyrics
The L&N don't stop here anymoreAnd the whistle of the engine's just an echo in the windAnd that old pot-bellied stove ain't smoked a log in ten DecembersAnd a memory's the railroads next of kinIf you close your eyes you just might hear the soundOf a faraway conductor cryin', "People all aboard!"And that water tank that filled the trainIt sure looks mighty thirsty'Cause the L&N don't stop here anymore.And the whistle stopsAnd loadin' docksThey're nearly all desertedAnd the railroad people all have moved awayThere's a ghost town feelin' where there onceWere sounds and noise and laughterBut like cowboy heros now they've gone away.The fancy depot down at Clarksville was the rageBut it gave way to time and cobwebsAnd there's a sign tacked on the door"This railroad town is now closed down - you'll have to go to Jackson".'Cause the L&N don't stop here anymore.Now the clickity-clack of the railroad track is goneAnd the depots that stood tall and proud are now about to fallAnd if Roy Acuff were born todayHe just might be a farmer'Cause there wouldn't be no Wabash CannonballNo, the L&N don't stop here anymore.
