[Verse 1]
Once [D]a week I make the drive,
[Esus4]two hours east[E]
To [Em]check [G]the Austin post office [D]box
And I make the detour through
[Em]our old neighborhood
See [G]all the Chevy Impalas in their
[A]front yards up on blocks

[Verse 2]
And I [G]park in an alley
And I [A]read through the postcards
you [D]continue [G]to send
Where as [Em]indir[E]ectly as you can,
[Em]you [G]ask what I remember
I like [D]these torture devices
from my [A]old best friend

[Verse 3]
Well, I'll [Bm]tell you what I know,
like [E]I swore I always [G]would
I don't think it's gonna do [A]you any good
I remem[D]ber [G]the train headed
[D]south out [G]of Bangkok
[A]Down to[G]ward the wa[D]ter
[G][D][G][D][G][D]

[Verse 4]
[D]I always get a late start
when the [Em]sun's going [E]down
[G]And the traffic's thinning out
and the [D]glare is hard to take
I wish the West Texas Highway
was [E]a mobius strip
[G]I could ride it out forever

[Verse 5]
When I [A]feel my heart break, I almost [G]swear I hear it happen,
in fact, [A]clean and not hard
I [D]come in off the highway and
[G]I park in my front yard
[Bm]Fall out of the car like a
[E]hostage from a plane
[G]Think of you a while,
start [A]wishing it would rain

[Verse 6]
And I re[D]member [G]the train headed
[D]south out [G]of Bangkok
[A]Down [G]toward the wa[D]ter
[G][D][G]

[Verse 7]
I [D]come into the house,
put [E]on a pot of [Em]coffee[G]
Walk the floors a little [D]while
I set your postcard on the table
with [E]all the others like [Em]it[G]
I start sorting through the [A]pile

[Verse 8]
I check the pic[G]tures and the postmarks
and the [A]captions and the stamps
[D]For signs of any pattern at [G]all
When I [Em]come up empty-han[E]ded [Em]the
the [G]feeling almost overwhelms [D]me
I let a few of my de[A]fenses fall

[Verse 9]
[Bm]And I smile a bitter smile
It's not a [E]pretty thing to see
[G]I think about a railroad platform
Back [A]in 1983 And [G]I rememb[D]er t[G]he train
headed [D]south out [G]of Bangkok
[A]Down, down to[G]ward the wa
[D]ter[G]
