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

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

Oh, where's a train when you need one?
