[G] Smokin' on black Cadillac, [D] the engine's winding down
He parkin' up on the sidewalk like [C] he own the whole damn town
I'd hear [G] him talkin' to [D] some chick through [G] a thick ghost [C] of smoke
[G] Through a thicker haze of southern [D] comfort and cold
He say, girl, you're hotter than a henge hanging off the gate's hill
Don't [Em] be afraid to turn to me, baby, [C] for he don't treat you well
And [G] by he, he [D] meant me, so [G] I laughed and I shook [C] his hand
_ [G] He laughed a little bit louder as [D] he'd yell up at the band
[G] Play a train song, [D] hold me one more round
[Em] Make them leave my birdsong when [C] they lay me into the ground
I am [G] air, runway, [D] _
[G] locomotive, out of my one [C]-drive mind
And [G] I'm a-lookin' for any [D] kind of trouble that I [G] can't find
I got this old black leather jacket, got [D] this packed Marlboro red
I got [Em] this stash here in my pocket, I got [C] these thoughts in my own head
Right [G] to run until [D] I've gotta [G] walk, until I've got [C] to crawl _
[G] This moment that I'm in right [D] now ain't nothing [G] else at all
Play a train song, [D] hold me one more [Em] round
Make them leave my birdsong when [C] they lay me into the ground
I [G] am air, runway, [D] _ [G] locomotive, out of my one [C]-drive _ _ mind

_ _ _ [G] New television, blizzard [D] lights, we looked around his place
[Em] We found a cold air on the sofa, [C] a little smile across his face
And [G] though I've tried with [D] all of my sadness, [G] somehow I just could [C] not _ weep
[G] Poor man looked to me like [D] he died laughing in his sleep
[G] Play a train song, [D] bring him one last [Em] round
We made him leave his birdsong [C] on the day they laid him down
He [G] was air, runway, [D] _ [G] locomotive, out of his [C] one-drive mind
