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

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