[D] [G] [D]
Me and my brother used to walk along [G] this railroad [D] track
We'd get fries and Coca-Cola from [G] the old snack [D] shack
Dad would reach into his wallet [G] for a few [D] dollar bills
And say, y'all better watch for traffic by the cotton mill
[C#] Please boys, listen for [A] the train
Oh, [D]
my, how the years have gone by
Youth is just the blink of an eye
Oh, crazy how this town has changed and [Em] it's crazy
[F#m] Which things [G] are the same
[A] I still listen for [D] the train, [G] [D] listen for the train
I used to cruise around the square [G] in an old [D] Chevrolet
I drove that baby blue Beretta like a Z-28
Daddy threw me the keys, my seventeenth birthday
I said a good father will give them and he'll take it away
Have [Em] fun, son, but listen for [A] the train, [D] please
My, [Gm] how the [D] years have gone by
Youth is just the blink of an eye

[A] [E] listen [Bm] for the train
[F#]
[A] [Bm] I was [F#m] eighteen when the mill [B] closed up
And the [F#] railroad [Am] [E] slowed [A] down
[E] [Bm] Now there's fast food with a [F#m] strip mall
And a Walmart on the bypass [A] around the town
Oh, [Em] [G] now I get a little teary [Dm] -eyed
[G] When I drive my kids [Dm] to school
I [Gm] sit and wait for a train to [D] go by
[E] They say, Daddy, [F#] what's the matter [G] with you?
[D] My, how the years have gone by
Youth is just the blink of an eye
Oh, it's crazy how this town has changed [Em] and it's crazy
