G
I went down to the station

Just to take a ride
G
I went down to the station
D
Just to take a ride
A7
Found myself on a flatcar
D
Yesterday behind
Verse 2:
Pullin` out from the platform
There was no brass band
I pulled out from the platform
Nobody raise a hand
There were no tears or regrets
>From the runaway train
Train, train, train, train
(instrumental, same pattern as verses)
Verse 3:
Got no sand in my pocket
You know I ain`t tied down
With no sand in my pocket
Never do sit down
I`m just a cross-tie walker
Where the freight trains run
Run, run, run, run
(instrumental, same pattern as verses)
Verse 4:
If you see me a-comin`
Don`t you waste my time
If you see me a-comin`
Don`t you waste my time
`Cause there`re more miles between us
Than the Santa Fe line
Run, run, run
(hum 2 lines of a verse, then play D continuously and fade)
