Intro - FF | A minorAm Am | C majorC | G+G G MajorG

    FF              C majorC
Well I used to pray to Jesus but I done backslid
G+G            A minorAm
Carrying the burdens of a preacher's kid
FF             C majorC
Drinking at the pulpit and healing them lame
G+G             A minorAm
Daddy was a-riding on the old death train

 FF           C majorC
I had me a woman but she took my kid
    G+G             A minorAm
When I gambled all our money on a moonshine still
FF               C majorC
Now I drink my whiskey from a beat up flask
   G+G              A minorAm
This train done departed and it's goin' fast

   FF       C majorC       FF   C majorC
Oh the wheels, they spin, they're faster than a speeding
G+G
Airplane on a sunny day
   FF      C majorC      FF    C majorC     A minorAm
And I can't break free cause I can't believe it's me
    FF     C majorC     FF   C majorC
So I'll take your bets, I'll try me walking down
 G+G
A augmentedA narrow line with a life like mine
      FF   C majorC    FF   C majorC     A minorAm
And you'll never see any boy as brave as me
    FF
Yeah I hope that this old railroad delivers me

FF | A minorAm Am | C majorC | G+G G MajorG


       FF                C majorC
I'm still the talk of this town, I'm still the roll of their dice
 G+G           A minorAm
I found me a lover in a whorehouse wife
  FF             C majorC
She never knew her mama or the money I've known
   G+G              A minorAm
Don't ever make a judgement if you ain't been shown

     FF               G+G
You never walked in my shoes, you never understood
  G+G         A minorAm
Why I was escaping anyway that I could
FF           C majorC
Nobody knows I'm gonna ride these rails
     G+G          A minorAm
'Til the dark comes over this prison cell

   FF       C majorC       FF   C majorC
Oh the wheels, they spin, they're faster than a speeding

Well, the truth came out and the church burned down
G+G              A minorAm
Daddy's heart stopped on the edge of this town
  FF              C majorC
I'm out here searching for that boy of my own
