IDLE HOURVERSE There’s a place down the street
Where my friends congregate And when we sit on those bar stools We’re not alone 10 am the lights are on Beer’s cold, the whiskey’s strong And we’re drowning those memories One by one CHORUS You can meet me at the idle hour Where the juke box plays all those country songs If you’re tryin’ to hang on
To a love that’s dead and gone With too many reasons not to go back home
VERSE The neon lights are bright Even tho it’s past midnight And the band’s packed up and moved on Stare at the clock on the wall Bartender says last call And I start missin’ her most of all
CHORUS So, you can meet me at the idle hour Where the juke box plays all those country songs So if you’re tryin’ to hang on To a love that’s dead and gone With too many reasons not to go back home Too many reasons not to go back home

Verse 1 From the great Atlantic ocean to the wide Pacific shore From the queen of flowing mountains to the south side by the shore She's mighty tall and handsome and known quite well by all She's the combination on the Wabash Cannonball
Verse 2 Now She came down from Birmingham one cold December day As she rolled into the station you could hear all the people say There's that gal from Tennessee she's long and she's tall She came down from Birmingham on the Wabash Cannonball
Verse 3 Yeah Listen to the jingle the rumble and the roar As she glides along the woodland through the hills and by the shore Hear the mighty rush of the engine hear that lonesome hobo call You're traveling through the jungle on the Wabash Cannonball
Verse 4 Our Eastern states are dandy so the people always say From New York to St. Louis and Chicago by the way From the hills of Minnesota where the rippling waters fall No chances can be taken on the Wabash Cannonball
Verse 5 So Listen to the jingle the rumble and the roar As she glides along the woodland through the hills and by the shore Hear the mighty rush of the engine hear that lonesome hobo call You're traveling through the jungle on the Wabash Cannonball
