Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[C]Station was [G]empty
[D]Trains were all gone
[G]I rea[C]ched in my pocket[G]
[D]Waited [G]for dawn

[Verse 2]
The [C]clock played drum[G]s
And [D]I hummed t[G]he sax
And [C]the wind whistled down
The [D]railroad [G]tracks

[Verse 3]
Hey [C]three for [G]a quarter
[D]One for a [G]dime
I'll [C]bet it's tomorrow
By [D]Rocky Mountain Time

[Verse 4]
[G]I wal[C]ked in the restau[G]rant
[D]For something to do
[G]The wai[C]tress yelled at me[G]
So [D]did [G]the food

[Verse 5]
And [C]the water taste [G]funny
When [D]you're far from your [G]home
But it's [C]only [G]the thirsty
That [D]hunger [G]to roam

[Verse 6]
And [C]the clock played [G]drums
And [D]I hummed t[G]he sax
And [C]the wind whistled down
The [D]railroad [G]tracks

[Verse 7]
Hey [C]three for a [G]quarter
[D]One for a [G]dime
I'll [C]bet it's tomorrow
By [D]Rocky Mountain Time
[G]

[Verse 8]
We'll [F]build us a castle on [G]Main Street
And pre[F]tend that we're
down on [G]the farm
Hell, we'll [F]hold out as
long as we [G]have to
Then [A]we'll twist off each
other's arm
[D][Bm][D]

[Verse 9]
[G]Christ, I'm so [C]mixed up [G]and lonely
I can't [C]even make [D]friends with my [G]brain
Yeah, I'm [C]too young to
[D]be where I'm [G]goin'
But I'm [C]too old to [D]go back again

[Interlude 1]
[G]

[Verse 10]
[C]Station was emp[G]ty
[D]Trains were all gone
[G]I r[C]eached in my pocket[G]
[D]Waited for daw[G]n

[Verse 11]
The [C]clock played drum[G]s
And I [D]hummed [G]the sax
And [C]the wind whistled down
The [D]railroad [G]tracks

[Verse 12]
Hey [C]three for a [G]quarter
[D]One for a [G]dime
I'll [C]bet it's tomorrow
