Train whistle blowing down the railroad tracks, Letting me know she won't be back, She's gone, where did I go wrong Well I just can't quit these old ramblin' Ways I'll ramble till my dying day With these blues With these blues I got a hurting heart of misery And I drink to ease the pain Trying to get her off my mind Is enough to go insane I'm down to my last heart ache I got nothing left to lose But these old Boone county blues Well the steel rails are hot beneath my shoes God only knows what a woman won't do, to you, boy to you I think I'll catch the next train by No teardrops left for me to cry I'm gone, long Gone I got a hurting heart of misery And I drink to ease the pain Trying to get her off my mind Is enough to go insane I'm down to my last heart ache I got nothing left to lose But these old Boone county blues Yeah I'm down to my last heart ache I got nothing left to lose But these old (but these old) Oh these old (but these old) Boone county blues.
