G D G
[Chorus]
G C
I'm goin' down to the railway station, gonna get a ticket to ride
G D
Find a big, fat lady with two or three kids and sit down by her side
G C
Ride 'til the sun comes up and down around me 'bout two or three times
G
Smokin' cigarettes in the last seat
D
Tryin' to hide my sorrow from the people I meet
[Verse]
G
And get along with it all
C
Go down where people say "y'all"
G
Sing a song with a friend
D
Change the shape that I'm in
G
And get back in the game
C G D
And start playin' again

Might go back down to Texas or might go to somewhere that I've never been
G
And get up in the mornin' and go out at night
C
And I won't have to go home

Get used to bein' alone

Change the words to this song

Start singin' again

I could build me a castle of memories just to have somewhere to go

Count the days and the nights that it takes to get back in the saddle again

Feed the pigeons some clay

Start talkin' again, when I know what to say
