Verse
A#m C# Fm
I turn my collar from the wind as I button up my coat
D#
Trying to keep out the cold
A#m C# Fm
It’s been a long time coming, been so long since I’ve
D#
Been home
A#m C# Fm
Oh and baby as I gather all my things, your picture
D#
Falls to the floor
A#m C#
And how it hurts so much to see that face of yours
Fm D#
Staring at me like I’m a ghost
[Chorus]
C# A#m
Cause’ it’s a long cold road I’m walking on
G# A#m
It’s a long cold straight steel rail
C# A#m
I can hear the whistle of that train
G# A#m
That’s coming to take me anywhere
[Verse]
A#m C#
Lonely bird sitting up in that tree
Fm D#
Won’t you sing me a sweet melody?
A#m C#
Oh and maybe I’ll give you a little company
Fm D#
If you’d share some advice with me
[Chorus]
C# A#m
Cause’ it’s a long cold road I’m walking on
G# A#m
It’s a long cold straight steel rail
C# A#m
I can hear the whistle of that train
G# A#m
That’s coming to take me anywhere
[Verse]
A#m C# Fm
I’ll keep my head up high, I’ll keep my strength by my side
D#
I’ll bury all of my pain
A#m C# Fm
And I’ll just sit here and wait for that train to come
D#
Take me away
[Chorus]
C# A#m
Cause’ it’s a long cold road I’m walking on
G# A#m
It’s a long cold straight steel rail
C# A#m
I can hear the whistle of that train
G# A#m
That’s coming to take me anywhere
C# A#m
Cause’ it’s a long cold road I’m walking on
G# A#m
It’s a long cold straight steel rail
C# A#m
I can hear the whistle of that train
G# A#m
That’s coming to take me anywhere
