C/G Dadd11/A
[Verse]
C/G Dadd11/A G Em7
An old man moving pretty slow
C/G Dadd11/A G Em7
On a bench as birds pass by below
C/G Dadd11/A G Em7
Eating all the bread that he had to throw
C/G Dadd11/A
He knows how to be alone
[Verse]
C/G Dadd11/A G Em7
And then he said with a tear in his eye
C/G Dadd11/A G Em7
If you're thinking about love, well don't you give it a try
C/G Dadd11/A G Em7
'Cause someday the one you love will surely die
C/G Dadd11/A
You'll be left on a park bench
G
[Verse]
C/G Dadd11/A G Em7
Casey Jones is still driving that train
C/G Dadd11/A G Em7
Anything he can do to stay off the cocaine
C/G Dadd11/A G Em7
He sings folk songs to pass the time
C/G Dadd11/A
While he drives all night
[Verse]
C/G Dadd11/A G Em7
And then he said with a crack in his voice
C/G Dadd11/A G Em7
You'd better choose love, boy, if you're given the choice
C/G Dadd11/A G Em7
'Cause you can't live your life on what could have been
C/G Dadd11/A
It's a sin, Lord it's disgusting
G
[Verse]
G C/G
So Casey, let me off at the next stop
Dadd11/A G
I've got places to go, but I think that I'll just walk
G C/G
And hell, for awhile I'll just circle the block
Dadd11/A G
Till my head hangs low and my limbs fall off
[Verse]
G C/G
I'm talking to myself, trying to strike a deal
Dadd11/A G
Back to California or to Capitol Hill
G C/G
Where I can say goodbye to her family
Dadd11/A G
Yes, and finally forgive her for all of her travesties
G C/G
My heart's too heavy, this place it can't carry me
Dadd11/A
So good bye, Salt Lake City
G
