Fm G G..Metal tracks and westbound trains
Fm G G..This cold in my bones is gettin' to my brain
Fm G G..And I'm a million miles from yesterday
FmI wake up each morning, each morning's the same
G GMetal tracks and westbound trains
[Verse 2]
Fm G G..Dandelions and fresh sunflowers
Fm G G..The moon's coming out, the engine grows louder
Fm G G Fm..And I'm not running from a thing but running towards the plain hard fact that I belong by
G G Fm GDandelions and fresh sunflowers.....
[Chorus]
F G G..I'm somewhere between Kansas and coal
Fm FAnd Colorado snow, don't care anymore
Fm G'Long as I'm gettin' where I go
F G G Fm GAnd I'm from Mississippi where nobody missed me, so I'm travellin' on..
F Fm G G G/Cm..So tonight I'll call this train my home........
[Verse 3]
Fm F G..Heart made of stone and eyes made of glass
Fm G G..When I'm riding these rails I'm chasing my past
Fm F G..And I once had a lover and good God I loved her but she was gone too fast
Fm G G Fm G..With a heart made of stone and eyes made of glass.....
[Chorus]
F G G..I'm somewhere between Salt Lake and Red Freights
Fm FAnd I hope that soon I'll be done with snowflakes
Fm GI'm still just travelin' on
F G G Fm..An empty bottle of whiskey cuts through like mesquite, but it keeps me warm
F Fm G G G/CmSo tonight I'll call this whiskey home.......
[Bridge]
Fm G G..Oh, and I like to think that I'm just a travelin' soul
Fm G G..When the music plays, I'd like to have a spot at his show
Fm G G..But for now, I'm sittin' 'tween two tanks of oil
Fm G G..Writin' the song to pass the time, followin' these roads
[Chorus]
Fm G G..And Lord I know
Fm G G..Please don't leave me 'lone
Fm G G...I will follow
Fm G G..One day I will come home
[Outro]
F G..When I finally reach the west coast
G Fm GMaybe then I'll just float and stay for a while.
F Fm G..Maybe I'll get back on the line
F G G..'Cause for a man like me, I need room to breathe
Fm G FBeing on my own is where I feel free
Fm GSo I'll decide when I get where I'm goin'
