Intro D C G D  

D 
Headlights on the ceiling as she pulls into the drive 

C 
She never says she's coming, she never says goodbye 

G                                                          D 
She's gonna bring the sunshine and she's gonna bring the rain 

                 C              G                                  D 
Its like I'm standing at the station and I'm waiting on a runaway train 


D 
When I was a youngin, my momma used to pray 

C 
That I'd find me a Christian girl and settle down someday 

G                                                           D 
But the devils at the front door and she's calling out my name 

                C                                G                    C 
Its like I'm standing at the station and I'm waiting on a runaway train
