Verse 1:
G+G D MajorD
Just a small town southern boy in my Carolina home
C majorC G+G D MajorD
I would watch the train as it rolled down the track
G+G D MajorD
Standing by the trestles in the morning all alone
C majorC D MajorD G+G
How I'd count the days till it came rolling back
G+G D MajorD
But now those days have come and gone and they've tore the stations down
C majorC G+G D MajorD
And I miss the freedom that I felt inside
G+G D MajorD
Before my heart was ever broken and the trains still came around
C majorC D MajorD G+G
How I'd like to climb on board and take a ride
Chorus:
E minorEm D MajorD
Just to climb inside a box car and go down an endless line
C majorC G+G D MajorD
To outrun all the heartaches and the worries in my mind
C majorC G+G C majorC
To ramble town to town till my days on earth are done
G+G D MajorD E minorEm C majorC
Oh, where's a train when you need one?
G+G D MajorD C majorC
Oh, where's a train when you need one?

Verse 2:
G+G D MajorD
But now the years have made their change in this sleepy little town
C majorC G+G D MajorD
And I'm left with hardly any peace of mind
G+G D MajorD
What I'd give to hear that whistle and to see that train again
C majorC D MajorD G+G
And to let it carry me on down the line
Chorus:
E minorEm D MajorD
Just to climb inside a box car and go down an endless line
