C
Well I got my mail late last night
C7 F
A letter from a girl who found the time to write
C
To her lonesome boy somewhere in the night
F
She sent me a railroad ticket too
C
To take me to her loving arms
Am G7 C
And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love
Em Am G7
C
Well I been out here many long days
C7 F
I haven't found a place that I could call my own
C
Not a two bit bed to lay my body on
F
I been stood up I been shook down
C
I been dragged into the sand
Am G7 C
And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love
Em Am G7
F Em Am C
Ooh ooh ooh yi he he
F Em Am G7 C
ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
(Play Intro Again)
C
Well I been up tight most every night
C7 F
Walking along the streets of this old town
C
Not a friend around to tell my troubles to
F
My good old car she done broke down
C
'Cause I drove it into the ground
Am G7 C
And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love
Em Am G7
C
Well look over yonder across the plain
C7 F
The big drive wheels a-pounding along the ground
C
Gonna get on board and I'll be homeward bound
F
Now I ain't had a home cooked meal
C
And Lord I need one now
Am G7 C
And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love
Em Am G7
F Em Am C
Ooh ooh ooh yi he he
F Em Am G7 C
ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
(Play Intro Again)
C
Now here I am with my head in my hand
C7 F
Standing on the broad highway will you give a ride
C
To a lonesome boy who missed the train last night
F
I went in town for one last round
C
And I gambled my ticket away
Am G7 C
And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love
Em Am G7
F Em Am C
Ooh ooh ooh yi he he
F Em Am G7 C
ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
F Em Am C
Ooh ooh ooh yi he he
F Em Am G7 C
ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
