Intro: G D G D
verse 1
D
Well, I hopped aboard a southbound freight,
and hid behind a packin' crate,
Em
and settled back to catch me forty winks.
G A
Got to thinkin' about my goodbye note,
G A
and worryin' about the words I wrote,
G A7 D
and wonderin' what that woman's goin' to think.
verse 2
D
She'd a made a darn good wife,
and had me workin' nine to five,
Em
but thats what made this rambling feelin' grow.
G A
And freezin' 'neath an old tin hat,
G A
ain't exactly where it's all at,
G A7 D
when the sun is shining bright in Mexico.
G D
So whine, you whistle, whine.
A D
Keepin' moving me on the further down that line.
G D
Whine, you whistle, whine.
A A7 D
There's a memory tryin' to catch up with my mind.
Interlude: G D G D
verse 3
D
Leavin' never hurt before,
but something's right outside that door,
Em
and calls my name with every mile of track.
G A
This lonley feeling deep inside,
G A
is making it so hard to ride,
G A7 D
and now and then I'll catch me lookin' back.
G D
So whine, you whistle, whine.
A D
Keepin' moving me on the further down that line.
G D
Whine, you whistle, whine.
A A7 D
There's a memory tryin' to catch up with my mind.
