Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
I went [G]down to the station,
just to take [D]a ride
I went [G]down to the station,
just to take [D]a ride
Found my[Am]self on [A]a[G]
flatcar, yesterday be[D]hind

[Verse 2]
[D]
Pullin' [G]out from the platform,
there was no [D]brass band
I pulled [G]out from the platform,
nobody raised [D]a hand
And there were [A]no [Am]tears of [A]regret
[G]from my runawa[D]y train

[Interlude 1]
Train, train, train, train
[D][G][D][G][D]
[A][G][D]

[Verse 3]
Got no [G]sand [D]in [G]my pocket,
you know I ain't [D]tied down
Ain't no [G]sand in my pocket,
never do [D]sit down
I'm just a [A]cross- [Am]tie walk[A]er,
[G]where the freight tra[D]ins run
[A]Run, [D]run, run, run

[Interlude 2]
[G][D]
[A][G][D]

[Verse 4]
If you [G]see [D]me a- com[G]in',
don't you waste [D]my time
If you [G]see me a- comin',
don't you waste [D]my time
'Cause there's [A]more [Am]miles between
[A]us [G]than the Santa Fe [D]line
[G]Run, [D]run, run, run
Mmm- [G]mm- mm mm- mmm mmm
Mmm- mm- [D]mm mm- mmm mmm

[Outro 1]
[D]
