Iris DeMent - I Miss A Lot Of Trains Lyrics
When the train pulls in the station
You'll be waiting at the track
You're having troubles sleeping nights
And you want me to come back
That old train just rolls on by
'Cause I sleep good and I miss a lot of trains
I sleep good and I miss a lot of trains
That one-way trek to no man's love
I will never ride again
I used to lie awake like you
Just calling out your name
But now I sleep good and I miss a lot of trains
You're standing in the station
You think that I'll return again
But you're so wrong this time
Your sleepless eyes and selfish heart
Will be waiting there in vain
While I sleep good and I miss a lot of trains
I sleep good and I miss a lot of trains
That one-way trek to no man's love
I will never ride again
I used to lie awake like you
Just calling out your name
But now I sleep good and I miss a lot of trains
Now I sleep good and I miss a lot of trains

Iris DeMent I Miss A Lot Of Trains Comments
Totally awesome.
Love her singing and her songs have been lucky enough to see her live in concert a couple times
Anyone notice the great Duane Eddy Fender bass style riff at the end of Iris’s version ?
My maternal Grandfather, whom I never knew, was a station agent on the old B&O Railroad in West Virginia.
We have old friends from our time in Bakersfield in the early 70s. Recontacted them quite recently. She came from Arkansas and when I first heard Iris Dement’s voice it was as if I was listening to the same voice.
John Prine likes Iris’s music a lot.
Ain’t it great how music ties so many threads together in life?
Discovered her music not long back....but I love it the same....
Classic ! Iris is the best !
This girl grows on ya - like a fine single malt scotch.
story of my life.
When the train pulls in the station you'll be waiting by the track
You're havin' trouble sleepin' nights you want me to come back
But that old train will roll on by, you'll know I never came
While I sleep good and miss a lot of trains
I sleep good and I miss a lot of trains
That one way track to no man's love I'll never ride again
I used to lie awake at night callin' out your name
Now I sleep good and miss a lot of trains
Your standin' in the station I can see you in my mind
You think that I'll forgive again, but you're so wrong this time
Your sleepless eyes and selfish heart are waiting there in vain
While I sleep good and miss a lot of trains
I sleep good and I miss a lot of trains
That one way track to no man's love I'll never ride again
I used to lie awake at night callin' out your name
Now I sleep good and miss a lot of trains
The First note just lifts your soul and puts a smile on your face . Even if you are home alone ...
Listening to this song is a pleasure and Iris is a true inspiration !!!
Gosh, I think I'm in love with this gal. What a voice and what a soul!
She´s mine!
Both of you are too late. I laid claim a long time ago. :)

I grew up beside the tracks for the Baltimore and Ohio railroad in the 1950s and listened to music like this. My oh my!
Amazing
awesome singer, mucho thnxx for posting this song :)))
i love you iris !
+frank martin Get in line........
Iris lives in Paragould, AR and talks just like she sings, the way she should.
Where is Paragould? I dont know, Im from EU- Slovenia. Please let me know. My great wish is that Iris come in EU some time soon!
+Barbara h. Agree with your comments from circa 8 months back. Bring Iris Dement to the EU ! Ian from the UK
Iris moved from there when 3 years old when her family moved away from Arkansas ! First to LA suburb and now up in Ohio? Peter Turner. England.
My God, she is getting better and better as the years roll by and she was always amazing. I love Iris.
Iris is pure 'Murica! Her singing bring back memories of when times were so much better than now...sad!
this is awesome
what a singer
I love this..:)
what a great voice.thanks for posting this. i love iris.
I met Iris in an airport in the early 90's and she seemed truly surprised that anyone would recognize her. Very humble, and sweet.
Regarding our lamenting the loss of that good ol' hillbilly sentiment, check out What's the Matter with Kansas by Thomas Frank excerpted in Harpers Magazine a good while back. Subtitled, How Conservatives Won the Heart of America he tells how PR firms socially engineered a sea-change in the heartland of midwest, swinging it hard right from pretty extreme left, back when they considered the rich as robber barons, by shifting focus onto points of culture & off of real issues, polarizin vs coast
Well right you are! I'm not surprised, really. She did strike me as genuine, but then so did some of the others whose singing voice differs from their everyday speech. I'm also new to Emmy Lou, so I'll look out for her. Tho I cant imagine anyone of this class to be as preferable to my taste as Iris. & i'm from the coast, unaccustomed to country music & western twang
Tom T. Hall is alive and well...
she's amazing ,,, i love her style !!!
well, shit.
You'd wonder if she puts it on, or if she actually talks like that. At least that's what I'm wondering, cuz I know singers whose singing voice is quite different from their personal talking voice. Hmmm, should we trust her in professional interview. I've faved a # of her songs. Been listening to her for a few weeks & only now am considering this
