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
