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

[G] He looked 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] For a man who looked to me like [D] he'd die laughing in his sleep.
[G] Play a train song, [D] or one last [Em] round.
Make them leave his birdsong [C] on the day they laid him down.
He [G] was a [D] runaway [G] locomotive out of his [C] one track mind.
[G] Play a train [C] song, [G] play a train [C] song, [G] play a [D] train [G] song.
