[Intro]
D Bm D A
Awake in this wasteland alone, nobody knows how I feel.
D Bm G A D
Just crosstie, pipe sand and stone, and 300 miles of steel.
D Bm
Walking alone my hopes fade,
D A D Bm
The hot sun is making me feel, but all I can find for a shade,
 
G A D
is 300 miles of steel.
 
[Chorus]
Bm A
I left all my money and black stout,
Bm A G
with a cardsharp who knew how to deal, now I walk and I wait
D Bm G A D
looking for a freight, down 300 miles of steel.
 
[Verse]
D Bm D A
Looking out across a ocean of sand, I see water holes that aren’t real.
D Bm G A D
I follow the two shining bends, down 300 miles of steel.
D Bm D A
I hear a rumble in the night, the patter of ten thousand wheels.
D Bm
I'll be running when I see the light,
G A D
down 300 miles of steel.
 
[Outro]
Bm A
I left all my money and black stout,
Bm A G
with a cardsharp who knew how to deal, now I walk and I wait
D Bm G A D
looking for a freight, down 300 miles of steel.
