Southbound Train Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
(Travis Tritt Charlie Daniels)
[G]
Well she was born in a north
woods town
Twenty-one winters winters [D]ago
And she grew tired of the freezing cold
And living in the blinding [G]snow

[Verse 2]
But [G]this girl knew she wouldn't
be there long
'Cause she had plans
and [D]dreams
And she'd seen pictures
of the sunshine state
In the pages of the magazine
[G]

[Verse 3]
So she waited them tables and
she used her smile
Saving every penny [D]she can
For a one-way Dixie Dixie
bound Amtrak ticket
Headed for the promised [G]land

[Verse 4]
Her [G]momma and daddy
begged her not to go
When the day she dreamed of [D]came
And she waved goodbye
sittin' way up high
From the window of [G]a southbound train

[Verse 5]
Now [G]she's got a fire
burnin' deep inside
Ridin' on a southbound [D]train
And the clickity-clack of
of that railroad track
Only helps to fan the [G]flames
No more worries, no more cares
She left them up in Bangor, [C]Maine
Now [D]she's startin' a brand new life
Ridin' on a south[G]bound train

[Interlude 1]
Whoa...
[G][D][G][D][G]
[D][G]

[Verse 6]
She said, [G]'Hello sun,
good mornin' Daytona
You're sure lookin' good [D]to me
With your ocean breeze and
your tall palm trees
And [G]your southern hospitality'
Now she's a knockout queenie
in a string bikini
She's drivin' all the boys in[D]sane
And this all started with
a small town dream
And a ticket on a south[G]bound train
'Cause she had a fire
burnin' deep inside
Ridin' on a southbound [D]train
And the clickity-clack of
of that railroad track
Only helps to fan [G]the flames
No more worries, no more cares
She left them up in Bangor, [C]Maine
Yeah [D]she likes the boys with
the southern drawl
Soakin' up the sunshine, havin' a ball
She'll be the first to tell you
that she owes it all
To ridin' on [G]a southbound train

[Outro 1]
Whoa...oh...
