Em                                C
I read it in a book one time saw it in a movie
G                                         D
i tried it as a kid but those wheels kept moving
Em                                  C
i heard it in song old hank was singing
G                                                 D
i could use one night cause my heart was breaking but


[Chorus]

C             G                  D           Em
You can't hop a train anymore and feel the freedom
C           G        D           Em
on rails aboard the devil's iron horse
C           G               D                 Em
90-tons of thunder baby you could watch me leaving
C               D             Em
but you cant hop a train anymore
C                C           Em
no you cant hop a train anymore


[Verse 2]

Em                                    C
i'd climb on that boxcar no plans i'm coming back
G                                            D
i'd start drinking my whiskey from an old brown paper sack
Em                                         C
i'd outrun your memory and this god damn broken heart
G                                           D
i'd leave em in a trail of smoke a-rolling through the dark

[Chorus]

C             G                  D           Em
You can't hop a train anymore and feel the freedom
C           G        D           Em
on rails aboard the devil's iron horse
C          G            D                  Em
90-tons of thunder baby you could watch me leaving
C               D             Em
but you cant hop a train anymore
C               D             Em
no you cant hop a train anymore

Em                                C
