[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]
Fm 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# Fm 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]
Fm 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# Fm C#
Oh, where's a train when you need one?
G# D# C#
Oh, where's a train when you need one?

Just to climb inside a box car and go down an endless line
