Twelve o'clock one Wednesday night in Nashville
It was still two hours before her train was due
I thought I'd drive on down to union station
Crossed the street and have a drink or two

Shelby Avenue sure looked empty
On Wednesday night the church folks go on home
I felt so good when I recieved her letter
Telling me she was tired of being alone

She gave me sunshine then brought me rain
She met a stranger I met a train

I almost died when the train arrived without her
She called when she got on in Jacksonville
The porter smiled when I showed him her picture
Said she left with a man down in Mobile

She gave me sunshine...
She gave me sunshine...
