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
