Chorus

Guitar key): G - D - G - D - A

I dressed up as a good man

 I charmed with all my might

 I made you my girlfriend

 I made you my wife

 Yeah we got ourselves a little place

 Then I woke up to find

 A rollin' iron boxcar

 That was taking me down the line

Yeah I'm carrying a lot of postcards

 I'm going west awhile

 Through the fields and rusty train yards

 Till the rails run out of miles

 Till they put me on the westbound

 Singing sweetly over me

 Your sound will be a rebound

 And the rails will trouble me

(chorus)

 Got her sound in the distance

And the sound of runnings' always on my feet

 Got her sound in the distance

And the sound of runnings' always racing me

 I passed the folks that never move

 Though their running every one

 And me I'll run the mainlines

 Until my racings done

 Till they put me on the westbound

 Singing sweetly over me

 Your sound will be a rebound

 And the rails will trouble me

Repeat chorus x2
