Verse 1:
D# Dm D#
This boxcar's been my home since St Antone
Dm D#
'Cause this ankle of mine I turned while hoppin' on
A#m A# D#
Shoots pain that feeds my dreams with luxuries
A#m A# D#
I see crystal chandeliers and burgundy
Verse 2:
D# Dm D#
I can feel my mother's heartbeat from the track
Dm D#
It's the rhythm of a son that won't be back
A#m A# D#
Lord knows where my mind is takin' me
A#m A# D#
I see crystal chandeliers and burgundy
Bridge:
Dm A#m
If that conductor only knew all the trouble I've been through
A#m D#
Just to be here on this train once again
D# Dm D# Dm D#
Freedom of a hobo ain't so bad you can dream of all the wealth you might've had
A#m A# D# A#m A# D#
I guess livin' on this train is gettin' to me I see crystal chandeliers and burgundy

Dm A#m
If that conductor only knew all the trouble I've been through
A#m D#
Just to be here on this train once again
D# Dm D#
If there's nothing in this world I've gotta do
Dm D#
But to ride these rails of steel my whole life through
A#m A# D# A#m A# D#
Then take away these visions that I see of crystal chandeliers and burgundy
A#m A# D#
Of crystal chandeliers and burgundy
