Her daddy raised tobacco
He was a hard workin' man
There was kindness in his smile
And there was strength in his hands
She can't remember much about him
Just his name makes her smile
He was supposed to live forever
And it was hard to say goodbye

Chorus: Some days are like a train
Gently rolling through a sleepy Southern town
Other days are filled with pain
Knowing she can't tell him just how much she loves him now
And she knows he knew she loved him
Still she aches for him to see what she's become
What gets her through the day,
Is knowing he is waiting there to meet her on the other side of home

She's a small town singer
Winning fans with her smile
She sings of tears and heartaches
And he is always on her mind
She steals the hearts of strangers
One song at a time
He never knew that much about her
He never got to see her sparkle in the lights

Chorus: Some days are like a train
Gently rolling through a sleepy Southern town
Other days are filled with pain
Knowing she can't tell him just how much she loves him now
And she knows he knew she loved him
Still she aches for him to see what she's become
What finally gets her through the day,
Is knowing he will hear her sing like an angel on the other side of home
Some day he will hear her sing like an angel on the other side of home
