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

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

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

To outrun all the heartaches and the worries in my mind

To ramble town to town till my days on earth are done
