Nobody writes goodbye notes

On trains anymore

And to tell you the truth

I don't really see much use

In walking the floor

Old songs make it sound so cool

And the only way this heartache

Is the lonely, the lonesome and the gone

There's a place down by the mall

They got a new jukebox
Eb
Filled up with country rock

'Cause that's what folks want

I don't know why no one sings about

And trying to wish back everything they've lost

Yeah, the only way this heartache

Is the lonely, the lonesome and the gone

He never sang about watching a Camry pulling out

Of a crowded apartment parking lot

Is like an old Hank Williams song
