Ladies and gentlemen, Guy Clark.
I've been six years old, I've seen some trains [A] before
So it's hard to figure out what I'm [E] at the Devo for
Trains are big and black and [G] smoke and steam
Screaming at [A] the wheels
Bigger than anything is, at least that's the way she [B] feels
Trains are big and black and smoke, louder than July [A] 4th
But everybody's acting like this might [E] be something more
Than just picking up the mail
[G] Of the soldiers from the [A] war
There's some that even old man Wildman never seen before
[F#] And it's a late afternoon on a hot Texas day
Something strange is going on and we is all [E] in the way
Now there's fifty or sixty people, [G] they're just sitting on their cars
And the old men left their dominoes and [E] they come down from the bar
Zoo and everybody's [G] checking, old Jack Kittrell check his [A] watch
And us kids put our [B] ears to the [E] rails to hear them pop
So we [Bm] already know that when they finally said train [A] time
And you'd have thought that Jesus Christ himself was rolling [E] down the line
Cause things got real quiet
[G] Mama jerked me back, [A] not before I got the chance [B] to lay a nickel on [E] the track
Look out, here she comes, she's coming, look out, there she [B] goes, she's gone
Screaming straight through Texas like a mad dog cyclone
She's big and red and silver, she don't make no smoke
[A] She's a fast rolling streamline, come to show [E] the folks
I said look out, here she comes, she's coming, look out, there she goes, she's gone
Screaming straight through Texas like a mad dog cyclone
Oh [B] yeah, [A] Lord [E] she never even stopped
She left fifty or sixty people still [G] sitting on their cars
And [A] they're wondering what it's coming to and how it got this far
Oh but me, I got a nickel, [G] smashed flatter than a dime
[A] My mad dog [B] runaway, red [E] silver streamline train
Look out, here she comes, [A] she's coming, look out, there she goes, she's [B] gone
Screaming straight through Texas like a mad dog [E] cyclone
She's big and red [B] and silver, she don't make no [A] smoke
She's a fast rolling streamline, come [E] to show the folks
I said look out, here she comes, she's coming, look out, there she goes, she's [B] gone
Screaming straight through Texas like a mad dog cyclone
Look [E] out, here she comes, she's coming, look out, there she [B] goes, she's gone
Screaming straight through Texas like a mad dog [Em] cyclone
[E] [N] [A] [N]
