CGDG
Station was empty, Trains were all gone.
CGDG
Reached in my pocket, And waited for dawn.
Chorus:
CGDG
The clock played drums, And I hummed the sax.
CDG
And the wind whistled down, The railroad tracks.
CGDG
Hey three for a quarter, One for a dime.
CDG
I'll bet it's tomorrow, By Rocky Mountain time.
CGDG
Walked in the restaurant, For something to do
CGDG
Waitress yelled at me, And so did the food
CGDG
And the water tastes funny, When you're far from your home
CDG
But it's only the thirsty, That hunger to roam
(Repeat chorus)
FG
We'll build us a castle on Main Street
FG
And pretend that we're down on the farm
FG
Hell, we'll hold out as long as we have to
AD
Then we'll twist off each other's arm
GCG
Christ I'm so mixed up and lonely
CB/CG
I can't even make friends with my brain
CB/CG
I'm too young to be where I'm going
CB/CG
But I'm too old to go back again
CGDG
Station was empty, Trains were all gone.
CGDG
Reached in my pocket, And waited for dawn.
(Repeat Chorus)
