F                                   C 
I went down to the station, just to take a ride. 
       F                                   C 
I went down to the station, just to take a ride. 
        G7                F7           C 
Found myself on a flatcar, yesterday behind. 
 
        F                                         C 
Pullin' out from the platform, there was no brass band. 
         F                                      C 
I pulled out from the platform, nobody raised a hand. 
               G7                F7 
And there were no tears of regret from my runaway train. 
       Train, train, train, train. 
 
(break) 
 
       F                                        C 
Got no sand in my pocket, you know I ain't tied down. 
         F                               C 
Ain't no sand in my pocket, never do sit down. 
           G7               F7                        C 
I'm just a cross-tie walker, where the freight trains run. 
       Run, run, run, run. 
 
(break) 
 
       F                                   C 
If you see me a-comin', don't you waste my time. 
       F                                   C 
If you see me a-comin', don't you waste my time. 
               G7                   F7                 C 
'Cause there's more miles between us than the Santa Fe Line. 
       Run, run, run, run. 
 
(Hum first two lines and fade)
