[Intro]
G D Em C
G D
Smokin long black Cadillac, engine’s windin down
Em C
Parked it up on the sidewalk like he owned the whole damn town
G D G C
I'd hear him talkin to some chick through a thick ghost of smoke
G D
Through a thicker haze of southern comfort and coke
G D
He'd say girl you’re hotter than the hinges hangin off the gates of hell
Em C
Don’t be afraid to turn to me baby if a he don't treat you well
G D G C
And by he he meant me so I laughed and I shook his hand
G D
He'd laugh a little bit louder as he would yell up at the band
G D
Play a train song, pour me one more round
Em C
Make’em leave my boots on on the day they lay me down
G D G C
I am a runaway locomotive out of my one track mind
G D G D G
And I’m lookin for any kind of trouble that I can find
G D
I got this old black leather jacket, got this pack of Marlboro reds
Em C
I got this stash here in my pocket, got these thoughts in my own head
G D G C
I got to run until I’ve got walk or until I got to crawl
G D G
At this moment that I’m in right now and nothin else at all
G D
Play a train song, pour me one more round
Em C
Make’em leave my boots on on the day they lay me down
G D G C
I am a runaway locomotive out of my one track mind
G D G D G
And I’m lookin for any kind of trouble that I can find
G D
And the television blizzard lights we looked around his place
Em C
We found him cold there on the sofa a little smile across his face
G D G C
And though I tried with all my sadness somehow I could never weep
G D
For a man who looked to me like he died laughin in his sleep
G D
Singin a train song, drinkin one last round
Em C
We made’em leave his boots on on the day they laid him down
G D G C
He was a runaway locomotive out of his one track mind
G C
Play a train song
G C
Play a train song
G D G
Play a train song

acoustic performances that I have seen. Have fun!
