[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
C
It's 11:05 and it's a little bit late
Bb
But I just heard the whistle of the southbound freight
C
The Norfolk & Southern's coming 'round the hill
Bb
It's the only sound on this night, so still
C
Here at 11:05
[Verse 2]
C
As I puff up my pillow on the edge of sleep
Bb
The whistle takes me back to memories deep
C
Putting pennies on the railroad track
Bb
And waiting for the train that crushed them flat
C
Back at 11:05
[Chorus]
F C
At 11:05 in the morning of my life
F C
That sound sliced the silence like a butterknife
F C
I'll never forget that weepy whistle sound
G7
When that big locomotive came rolling down
C
Back at 11:05
[Verse 3]
C
We'd sit by the crossing in the midday sun
Bb
Counting all the railcars one by one
C
Coal cars, box cars 'round the bend
Bb
The little red caboose bringing up the end
C
Back at 11:05
[Verse 4]
C
We'd step and stumble on the wooden ties
Bb
Looking for adventures, searching for a prize
C
We'd find a spike and a chunk of coal
Bb
Simple little treasures good as childhood gold
C
Back at 11:05
[Chorus]
F C
Times and trains and I have changed
F C
But one thing still remains the same
F C
That whistle's melancholy cry
G7
Is a strain of my night train lullaby
C
Here at 11:05
Bb
