        G                                   D
I went down to the station, just to take a ride.
        G                                   D
I went down to the station, just to take a ride.
        A7                G             D
Found myself on a flatcar, yesterday behind.

        G
Pullin' out from the platform,
                    D
there was no brass band.
          G
I pulled out from the platform,
                 D
nobody raised a hand.
               A7
And there were no tears of regret,
G                 D
from my runaway train.

Got no sand in my pocket, you know I ain't tied down
Ain't no sand in my pocket, never do sit down
I'm just a cross-tie walker,
where the freight trains run
Run
Run
Run
Run

If you see me a'coming don't you waste my time
If you see me a'coming don't you waste my time
Cause there's more miles
between us than the Santa Fe Line
Run
Run
Run
Run
