"Lonely Train" is the debut single by hard rock band Black Stone Cherry, from their self-titled album, which was released on July 18, 2006.

It peaked at #14 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, and was selected as a free single on iTunes in July 2006.

"It's about friends who've served in the military," noted singer Chris Robertson, "and it's kinda anti-war, although we're very grateful for the men and women who fight for our country.

"[1] With a heavy chugging riff, deep growly vocals, and distorted and aggressive heavy metal sound, 'Lonely Train' is atypical of the group's Southern rock-style sound.

In it, the band play in a warehouse in post-Hurricane Katrina New Orleans, which they considered an appropriate setting for the song's sentiment.
