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

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