          C       G           D        C
When the red sun sets on the Railroad town,
         D            Am7             G     C
And the bars begin to laugh with the happy sound;
               G          D       C
I'll still be here right by your side,
          D        Am7        G         C
There'll not be anyone in my heart but you.

Chorus:
          D
And the dreams that you have,
      G             C
they won't let you down,
        D          Em
If you just follow on
             C          D       C
'cause you know where they're found;
     D                            G
The well will be flowing and the words
           C
will come fast,
         D         Em         C        D   C
When the one who's coming arrives here at last.

On the grassy hills of the railroad town
Where we cut through the fences and over the crown
Where wind was blowing right through your hair
I dreamt that my Momma and Daddy were there

Chorus

When the red sun sets on the railroad town
And the bars begin to laugh with a happy sound
I'll still be here right by your side
There'll not be another in my heart but you
