[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
