CAPO 1 
INTRO D G A D 
D                      Bm           G             D 
THERE'S AN OLD PULLMAN PORTER WHOSE FINGERS SHOOT LIGHTNING 
D               Bm           G           A 
AND HE CAN MAKE FOOLS TRAVEL FASTER THAN LIGHT 
D                 Bm          G           D 
HE'D BE TAKING ME HOME ON THE RAILS OF MY MEMORIES 
D              G              A     D 
IF WISHES WERE FAST TRAINS TO TEXAS TONIGHT 

THERE'S A SONG ON A JUKEBOX SOMEWHERE IN UVALDE 
I SWEAR I CAN HEAR IT WHEN THE WIND BLOWS JUST RIGHT 
AND I WOULD DANCE LIKE A DEMON IN THE ARMS OF AN ANGEL 
IF WISHES WERE FAST TRAINS TO TEXAS TONIGHT 
 
A       Bm         D             Bm          G 
YES, IF DREAMS AND DESIRES COULD MOVE MIGHTY ENGINES 
D             Bm                G         A 
AND DRIVE LOCOMOTIVES THRU THE FABRIC OF TIME 
A      Bm          D            Bm          G 
I'D BE ROLLIN LIKE THUNDER INTO SWEETWATER COUNTY 
D      Bm          G          A 
ON THE TWELFTH OF SEPTEMBER, 1989 
 
THERE'S A LIVE OAK BREEZE BLOWIN THRU HER BEDROOM WINDOW 
WHILE DREAMS DANCE AROUND HER IN THE HAZY MOONLIGHT 
LORD, MY KISSES WOULD WAKE HER AND I'D NEVER FORSAKE HER 
IF WISHES WERE FAST TRAINS TO TEXAS TONIGHT 
 
IF WISHES WERE FAST TRAINS, GOD HOW I'D RIDE
