[Verse 1]
[C]Well, I used to pray to Jesus,
but a [G]gun backslid
Carry[D]ing the burdens of
a [Em]preacher's kid
Drink[C]ing at the pulpit and
[G]healing them lame
[D]Daddy wasn't riding on that [G]old
[Em]death trai[C]n[G]
[C][G][D]
Well, I [C]had me a woman,
but she took my [G]kids
Well, I [D]gambled all her money
on a [Em]moonshine still
[C]Now I drink my whiskey
from a beat -up [G]flask
The [D]train's done departing
and [Em]it's going fast
Oh, the [C]wheels, they [G]spin,
they're [C]faster [G]than a speedin' [D]aeroplane
[G]on a [D]Sunday day
An[G]d I c[C]an't break f[G]ree,
cause I [C]can't be[G]lieve [Em]it's me
So I [C]take your [G]fence,
I [C]try me [G]walkin' down a [D]narrow line
[G]With a lif[D]e like min[G]e
And you'll [C]never [G]see any
[C]boy as [G]brave [Em]as me
Yeah, I'm [C]hopin' this old
railroad delivers [G]me[C][G][D]
I'm still the [C]talk of this town
I'm still the roll of their [G]dice
I [D]found me a lover and a [Em]whorehouse wife
She [C]never knew her mama
all the more that I've [G]known
Don't [D]ever make a judgment
if [Em]you ain't been shown
Yeah, you never [C]walked in my shoes,
you never understood
[G]Well, [D]I was escaping any w[Em]ay that I could
But [C]nobody knows I'm
gonna ride these [G]rails
Till the [D]dark comes over this [Em]prison cell
Oh, the [C]wheels, they [G]spin,
they're [C]faster [G]than a speed
And [D]there's no play [G]on a [D]Sunday [G]day
[Em]And I can'[C]t break free[G],
cause I [C]can't be[G]lieve [Em]it's me
So I [C]take [G]your bet, I [C]try
I'll be [G]walking down a [D]narrow [G]line
with a life like [Em]mine
[G]And you'll [C]never [G]see any
[C]boy as [G]brave [Em]as me
Yeah, I'm hop[C]ing this old railroad delivers
[G]me[C][G][Em]
[Bm][C][G][C]
[G][Em]
Well, [C]truth came out
and the church [G]burned down
[D]Daddy's heart stopped at
the [Em]edge of this town
I'm [C]out here searching [G]for
that boy of my own
Don't [D]ever [Em]make a judgment
if you ain't been shown
Oh, the [C]wheels, they [G]spin
They're [C]faster [G]than the speed of [D]their own
[G]On a [D]Sunday day
[G]And I[Am] can't [C]break free[G]
Cause I [C]can't be[G]lieve [Em]it's me
So I [C]take your [G]bed
As I [C]try me walk[G]ing
Down a [D]narrow line
[G]With a [D]life [Em]like mine
And [C]you'll never [G]see any [C]boy
As [G]brave [Em]as me
Yeah I'm hop[C]ing this old railroad
delivers [G]me[C][G]
[D]Yeah, I'm hop[C]ing this old railroad
delivers me
