Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][C]

[Verse 1]
The [C]only thing I really own is what
you see me wearing on my [G]back
The only friends I've ever known are the
kind you meet along a railroad [C]track
The kind you bum tobacco from and
view the world through a boxcar [G]door
A [F]friend who talks and [G]makes you laugh
has [F]nothing much but [G]gives you half

[Verse 2]
And [F]maybe you don't [G]see
him any[C]more
Special I hear your lonesome
whistle [F]whine
It's calling me [G]Special keep
moving me on down the [C]line
My mackinaw is full of holes and ain't
too good at keepin' out the cold
[G]

[Verse 3]
My shoes are worn as paper thin my feet can
feel the cinders through the [C]soles
Sometimes I see a pretty girl and wonder
what I've missed along the [G]way
Once [F]someone special [G]wore my ring
and [F]loved me more than [G]anything
I [F]gave her up and [G]caught
a train one [C]day

[Verse 4]
[C]Special I had a special girl one [F]time
Now she's not mine [G]Special
keep moving me on down the [C]line
