CWell I got my mail late last night
A letter from a girl who C7found the time to Fwrite
To her lonesome boy somewhere in the Cnight
She Fsent me a railroad ticket too
To take me to her loving Carms
And the big steel Amrail gonna carry me G7home to the one I Clove
Em Am G7
CWell I been out here many long days
I haven't found a place that C7I could call my Fown
Not a two bit bed to lay my body Con
I Fbeen stood up I been shook down
I been dragged into the Csand
And the big steel Amrail gonna carry me G7home to the one I Clove
Em Am G7

The big drive wheels a-C7pounding along the Fground
Gonna get on board and I'll be homeward Cbound
