[Verse 1]
G D
Just a small town southern boy in my Carolina home
C G D
I would watch the train as it rolled down the track
G D
Standing by the trestles in the morning all alone
C D G
How I'd count the days till it came rolling back
G D
But now those days have come and gone and they've tore the stations down
C G D
And I miss the freedom that I felt inside
G D
Before my heart was ever broken and the trains still came around
C D G
How I'd like to climb on board and take a ride
[Chorus]
Em D
Just to climb inside a box car and go down an endless line
C G D
To outrun all the heartaches and the worries in my mind
C G C
To ramble town to town till my days on earth are done
G D Em C
Oh, where's a train when you need one?
G D C
Oh, where's a train when you need one?

[Verse 2]
G D
But now the years have made their change in this sleepy little town
C G D
And I'm left with hardly any peace of mind
G D
What I'd give to hear that whistle and to see that train again
C D G
And to let it carry me on down the line
[Chorus]
Em D
Just to climb inside a box car and go down an endless line
C G D
To outrun all the heartaches and the worries in my mind
C G C
To ramble town to town till my days on earth are done
G D Em C
Oh, where's a train when you need one?
G D C
Oh, where's a train when you need one?
