[G]

[Verse 1]
In [C]the

When the sun is beating down
upon the main [F]street
I'll be [G]waiting here at the station,
I gotta [Am]move [G]down the [F]line.

[Verse 2]
They'll be [C]dancin' and singin'
and doin' their thing
And they'll be rockin' and
rollin' until the day is [F]done.
You know I [G]got to make the deadline.

[Verse 3]
I [G#]gotta get that [Eb]southbound [Bb]train tonight,

[Verse 4]
The [C]Mardi Gras will be blowing strong
And the people dancing

I'm [G]leaving here tonight,
Gotta [Am]move [G]down the [F]line.

[Verse 5]
I'm gonna [C]catch a ride on the 9:05,
I'm gonna ride the rails until

[Verse 7]
When the [C]wind is blowing
Softly through the streets
Of a little town and the

You're waiting [G]somewhere over the horizon.

[Verse 8]
I [G#]gotta get that [Eb]southbound [Bb]train tonight,
