EMy Daddy was a rounder
Had to make himself some change
E7Climbed down off the mountain
Shaved his head and caught a train
But I kAeep my G#mskillet F#mgreasy
EKeep my lAamp G#mtrimmed 'n' Elow
My wAeary G#mfeet, these fF#mloors I wEalk
But Awhy I'll never kBnow
And I hEear echoes of his heart
Beating bBack from distant lEands
And I hear the lonesome whistle
Of that trBain that stole my Eman

EAnd I cuddle to my child
Teach him to bear the shame
To take the blows
That choose the frows and
Earn an honest name
But mAoney's rG#munning F#mlow, you kEnow?
No fAriends to G#mhelp me tEhrough
Just oAne last tG#mhing F#mI can seEll
And tAhat will have to Bdo
But I fEeel hunger in my sunken cheeks
In the tBremble of my hEand
And I feel the rumblin' of the wheels
Of that tBrain that stole my mEan

EMy mind just takes to ramblin'
As the day goes walkin' west
And Magnus comes a-crawlin'
Through that hole inside my breast
And sAorrow sG#mings the sF#mimple sEong
That sAcreams the G#mwhole night tEhrough
A mAeloG#mdy of F#mhim and Eme
That nAever rang so tBrue
And I sEee dark clouds on the rise
And I see mBidgets in the sEand
They paint my sight with visions
Of that trBain that stole my mEan

EAnd I dreamt I found his crossroads
In the lBand of sticks and sEtones
Where the peggy worries of the heart
Are Bworries so unEknown
He tAook me G#min his F#marms, you kEnow
And tAied me G#mto his sEide
CAaught that fG#mirst wind F#moff the hEills
And fuArther we did rBide
Well I fEelt his touch upon my breast
That uBnforgiving hEand
But when I woke, could smell the smoke
Of that tBrain that stole my mEan

ENow the wind runs through my skin
And the rBain runs through my eEyes
Can't find no ground to hold my feet
Lord kBnows how hard I tEries!
For cAome the dG#mawn, I'll cF#mlean my tEeeth
And pAowderG#m up my cEhest
Take Aoff this fG#maded aF#mpron, bEabe
And put oAn my Sunday bBest
To bEind the strings to fix my heart
I'm gBonna look to holy lEands
And lay my back down on the track
Of that tBrain that stole my mEan
