View chords used in this chart
G C D7 G
Old beat up suitcase on the platform a train ticket in my hand
C D7 G
And a train just arrivin' that'll take me as far as fourteen dollars can
D7 G D7 G
But a train won't take me far enough it never has before
C D7 G
I gotta find how far a memory reaches and then go one mile more
C D7 C G
I ain't never found a mountain that was high enough
D7 G
Or a hole too dark and deep
C
Cause if I lose her memory in a bottle of wine
D7 G
Then she'll find me in my sleep
C D7 G
I think of me and my old suitcase the places we both been
C D7 G
All the rails and jails and the cheap hotels and now we're gone again
D7 G D7 G
And when I ride my money up and they won't let me ride no more
C
Then I'll wait by the track for a slow movin' freight
D7 G
And watch for an open door
C D7 C G
I ain't never found a mountain that was high enough
D7 G
Or a hole too dark and deep
C
Cause if I lose her memory in a bottle of wine
D7 G
Then she'll find me in my sleep
D7 G D7 G
She'll find me in my sleep she'll find me in my sleep
