Church Of Level Track
View chords used in this chart
C
I was drunk as hell with a friend way back
Em
Down by Scotts Addition off a mainline track
Am Em
He said what was on his mind like I'd never heard it
C
Then in come this train called the 170
Em
I heard it air up then felt it pull
Am Em
They say that rain on the face cuts when you deserve it
And I sat and I thought
C Em Am
All that ain't right is over for at least tonight and if I die trying now
Em
I wont die wondering how life could've turned out
C
Well that train hauled ass and made good time
Em
Down past Rocky Mount on that old Seaboard Line
Am Em
My friend just slept and I sat there silent
C
I had some whiskey and some smokes and time to think it all out
Em
It made sense this whole heading south
Am Em
Sometimes it's best to slow your pace when you can't control it
And I sat and I thought
C Em Am
All that ain't right is over for at least tonight and if I die trying now
Em
I wont die wondering how life could've turned out
C
Down in Jacksonville that train broke up
Em
My legs where stiff I thought I'd walk it off
Am Em
My friend faced west and mentioned Pensacola
C
I did the truck stop deal and prayed on four wheels
Em
Sat on my bag, heard a J-break scream
Am Em
I saw my face in a window and I thought I know him
And I sat and I thought
C Em
Although it ain't right I'm not heading home tonight
Am Em
And if I die thinking here I wont die wondering
How life could've turned out
C, Em, Am, Em for the outro
