_ _ _ [C] The thought that inspired me to write this next song in some ways [N] may seem premature
The title being simply no more trains to ride
Because if you really want to go to enough trouble you still hop a freight and make your way across the country
The stiffer penalties and trespassing laws on railroad property will discourage most any young man from choosing this method of travel
Let's say, you know like over hitchhiking _ _ and if you'll examine close to the times in which we lived
I think maybe you'll agree this song may not be quite so premature after all
I _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _

_ Three doors down [F] from the railroad track where they [C] set the old [G] boxcar down _ _ _ _ _ _
Born the son [F] of a railroad man [C] who rode them until he died _
_ _ _ _ I'd like to live [F] like my daddy _ did _ _ _

Songs like old [F] Bill's last ride [C] I loved a good rambling [G] _ song _
_ _ _ _ [C] Bill was the son [F] of a rambling man [C] who rambled _ until he died _ _ _ _ _ _
