[Verse 1]
Bm                          A
He took a plane to New York City
              G                         F#7
To chase his fortune on the Wall Street plan
          Bm             A
Now he is stranded in Manhattan
            G                 F#              Bm
Yet the Southeast Texas coast still calls his name

[Chorus]
                                  A
He said come on wheels, give up a ticket, oh
       G                          F#7
Hello thunder, won't you roll him home
                Bm            A
Oh a needle and thread could mend his heartache
    G                    F#                   Bm
Old moon give way to the day and hand him the sun

[Verse 2]
Bm                           A
There is no shelter for the lonely
        G                                    F#7
And the Northeast women speak of a different tongue
           Bm               A
There are days he cries so loudly
          G                  F#                Bm
That the southern rain blows north to ease his heart

[Chorus]
                                  A
He said come on wheels, give up a ticket, oh
       G                          F#7
Hello thunder, won't you roll him home
                Bm                     A
Oh a needle and thread could mend his heartache
    G                    F#                   Bm
Old moon give way to the day and hand him the sun

Bm A G F# Bm

[Verse 3]
                                A
Northern harbor take care of my blue boy
 
         G                            F#7
Let your city give him warmth for his hands
           Bm                     A
He will be happy, his heart won't long for
    G                     F#           Bm
His home on the Southeast Texas coast again

[Chorus]
                         A
He said come on wheels, give up a ticket, oh
      G                           F#7
Hello thunder, won't you roll him home
                Bm                    A
Oh a needle and thread could mend his heartache
    G                    F#                   Bm
Old moon give way to the day and hand him the sun

[Outro]
          Bm                A
There are days he cries so loudly
          G                  F#               Bm
That the southern rain blows north to ease his heart
