Capo 2nd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
One day after twenty five years
Head of service at the local Sears
Helen Walker put her pencil down and walked away
And all they found was a little note
adios was all she wrote
But as she left someone heard her say
Chorus
Gonna buy me a ticket to the end of the line
Wanna feel the air and breathe the countryside
Long as those wheels keep-a-rollin
I'll be satisfied, gonna ride, ride, ride.
Saturday night I was down at Joe's
He was moppin' up getting ready to close
He sat down and poured me one last brew
And he said to me with a sideways glance
If I ever get the chance
I'm gonna sell this joint and this is what I'll do
Chorus
I suppose I could stay
In this little town till my dying day
But in my heart I know I gotta go
So I'm standing at the station waitin' for the train
Don't know when I'll be back again
Mr. Engineer won't you let your whistle blow
