C
Put me on a train mama
       D#
This place just ain't the same no more
F
Put me on a train mama
               C
I'm leavin' today

I don't wanna watch the world spinnin'
I wanna be spinnin' with it
Put me on a train mama
I'm leavin' today

Chorus:
C
'cause I got the fever that's for sure
      D#
And knowin' I can get it makes me want it more
F                                               C
Mama I just want you to know that I'm gonna be fine
 C
Lord I know it's the chance that I take
       D#
But I know you've forgiven the mistakes that I've made
F                                           C
There's a life out there and it's gonna be mine

Put me on a train mama
'Cause I can't take this pain no more
Put me on a train mama
I'm leavin' today
And there's a world that's out there waiting
And I know that it's the chance I'm taking
Put me on a train mama
I'm leavin' today

Chorus

G#             F            C
God knows how long I'll be gone
     G#              A#                  C
But maybe one day a train will bring me home

Put me on a train mama
Put me on a train mama
Oh put me on a train mama
I'm leavin today

Chorus

Oh, put me on the train
'cause I'm leavin' today
