Intro - F | Am Am | C | G G

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

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

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

F | Am Am | C | G G


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

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

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

F | Am Am | C | G G

          F                      C
Well, the truth came out and the church burned down
G                            Am
Daddy's heart stopped on the edge of this town
    F                           C
I'm out here searching for that boy of my own
      G                            Am
Don't ever make a judgement if you ain't been shown

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

F | Am Am | C | G G
