Well, I got my mail late last night a letter from a girl who found the [F#] time to write
To her lonesome boy as something was [C#] in the night
[F#] She sent me a railroad ticket to take me to her loving [C#] arms in the [A#m] big steel rail on [G#] her caravan home to the one [C#] I love
[A#] [C#] Well, I've been out here many long days haven't found a place that I could [F#] call my home
Not a too big bed to lay my [C#] body on
[F#] I've been stood up.
I've been shook down.
I've been dragged into [C#] the sand in the [A#m] big steel rail on a caravan [G#] home
to the one I [A#m] love

Well, I've been uptight most every night walking along the streets of this [F#] old town
Not a friend around to tell my [C#] troubles to [F#] a good old car
She turned broke down cause I drove it into [C#] the ground in the [A#m] big steel rail on a caravan [G#] home to the one [C#] I love
[A#m] [G#] [C#] Well, the cold beyond her across the plain the big drive wheels a pound and [F#] along the ground
Gonna get on board and I'll be [C#] homeward bound
[F#]
Now I ain't had a home cooked meal and lord.
I need one [C#] now in the big [A#m] steel rail on a [G#] caravan home
to the one [C#] I love
[A#m]
[F#] [Fm] [A#m]
[C#] Woohoo
Well, here I am with my head in the sand standing on the broad highway, would you [F#] give a ride
To a lonesome boy.
I missed a train [C#] last night
[F#] I went in town for one last round and I gambled my [C#] ticket away in the [A#m] big steel rail won't carry [G#] me home
