       G                       Em
Well I waited all night by the railroad tracks,
G                            Em
Hoping that train would come soon.
      G                       Em
I got two more smokes, half a bottle of scotch,
       C             D       Em
Man, I ain?t got too much to lose.

G                 Em
 I toss slop at a local truck stop,
     G                             Em
In a town just out of Pittsburgh, PA.
       G                     Em
I make two twenty five but I still ain?t alive,
    C         D           Em
Lord I need a Texas bound train.
        D            C           Em
Yeah, I gotta find a Texas bound train.

G        C         G
 Take me I want to go,
Em         C              G
 I want to see where that red river flows.
                     C        G
Steel wheels burnin? into the night,
Em         C      G                   Em   C  G
 Take this cowboy home on a midnight ride.
     D        Em  C  G
On a midnight ride...
     D        Em
On a midnight ride...

       G                   Em
It?s a long trip down them railroad tracks,
   G                Em
To Texas I?ve never seen.
           G                         Em
I?ve heard stories of toil about old men and their oil,
             C          D          Em
And how they lost their riches and dreams.

         G                      Em
Now, the angels came down in my dreams last night,
         G                    Em
While outside it was stormin? rain.
            G                       Em
There was a rhythm of drops beatin? on the rooftops,
        C      D         Em
And the angels sang of a train.
              D            C           Em
They sang you gotta find a Texas bound train

G        C         G
 Take me I want to go,
Em         C              G
 I want to see where that red river flows.
                     C        G
Steel wheels burnin? into the night,
Em         C      G                   Em   C  G
 Take this cowboy home on a midnight ride.
     D        Em  C  G  D
On a midnight ride...
G        C         G
 Take me I want to go,
Em         C              G
 I want to see where that red river flows.
                     C        G
Steel wheels burnin? into the night,
Em         C      G                   Em   C  G
 Take this cowboy home on a midnight ride.
     D        Em  C  G
On a midnight ride...
     D        Em  C  G
On a midnight ride...
