Eliza Gilkyson - He'll Miss This Train INTRO: Em He started in the morning, arrived just in time
Met some Dfriends at the station, for to ride the narrow Emline Took a seat in the diner, made small talk with them all Took a Ddrink from the waiter, heard the last conductor Emcall
He Gseen the long dress of a woman on his right She was Dreading from the bible, she was Embasking in the light
For a moment he thought he'd hear the words she couldn't keep inside
He looked in Dvain all around him, but there was no place to Emhide
CHORUS:
Gotta miss this Amtrain Running on something behind, he'll miss this Emtrain Running out of time, he'll miss this Dtrain Walking down the line, he'll miss this Emtrain B Em
She said, "All my friends are millionaires", and her lips were small and thin
And she Dheld him with these words as her eyes began to Emspin "My lover is an angel, each day we give our praise To the Dglory of his goodness and the richness of our Emdays"
"But Gyou will never know him, unless you ride this train That Dseeks the pure and righteous for the Emglory of his name"
And with this she clasped an amulet that hung above her breast
And she Dfelt a tiny glory as the train continued Emwest
CHORUS:
Gotta miss this Amtrain Running on something behind, he'll miss this Emtrain Running out of time, he'll miss this Dtrain Walking down the line, he'll miss this Emtrain B Em
He became distracted, to the window he turned his eyes
To the Ddesert all around him and the blue that filled its Emskies Cactus with its arms arose to pull him away There were Dstones that shine like jewels, flying birds of Emprey
GNothing ever called to him as the sun was burning bright And Dall the desert creatures were Emhiding from the light
And the woman safely sleeping, with her book she'd made a nest
And he Dknew he'd have to leave there or his heart would never Emrest
CHORUS:
Gotta miss this Amtrain Running on something behind, he'll miss this Emtrain Running out of time, he'll miss this Dtrain Walking down the line, he'll miss this Emtrain B Em
He jumped out the window, the sun was burning red
And Dall he saw was desert and the bones of its Emdead He reached out to touch them and to lift them from the sand They Dlooked like angels, and he held them in his Emhand
All at Gonce he tried to board again, barbed wire cut his feet But Dall he saw was empty track and the Emrising of the heat
So he ran for a hundred miles until he came to a mountain town
Where he was Dtold by a conductor that he best just turn aEmround
CHORUS:
Gotta miss this Amtrain Running on something behind, he'll miss this Emtrain Running out of time, he'll miss this Dtrain Many walking down the line, he'll miss this Emtrain B Em
