Verse 1:
FF A minorAm
Well, I've been hoppin' freight trains all my life
FF C majorC G+G
I woke up cold and hungry, in the middle of the night
C majorC FF A minorAm
Been on the wrong end of a drunkard's night
FF G+G C majorC
And nowhere to send the letters that I write
Verse 2:
C majorC FF A minorAm
And I'll bet I've seen most every single town
FF C majorC G+G
But never stopped quite long enough to ever hang around
C majorC FF A minorAm
'Cause that whistle makes a mighty lonesome sound
FF G+G C majorC
It's been on my mind, I'd love to settle down
Chorus:
FF A minorAm
And I don't wanna ride the rails no more
FF G+G
I wanna know a woman's love worth dyin' for
FF A minorAm
Hear children playin' through an old screen door
FF G+G C majorC
No, I don't wanna ride the rails no more
Verse 3:
FF A minorAm
The train's pullin' out at half past 9
FF C majorC G+G
The waitress said, "Hey stranger, how 'bout one more glass of wine?"
C majorC FF A minorAm
We kept talkin' and we lost all track of time
FF G+G C majorC
The train pulled out, left us there behind
Verse 4:
C majorC FF A minorAm
For the first time in my life, I didn't run
FF C majorC G+G
I felt your arms around me and my rambling days were done
C majorC FF A minorAm
Somethin' changed deep inside of me
FF G+G C majorC
The radio played "Love Is All You Need"
