[Intro]G D Em C[Strophe]G DSmokin long black Cadillac, engine’s windin downEm CParked it up on the sidewalk like he owned the whole damn townG D G CI'd hear him talkin to some chick through a thick ghost of smokeG DThrough a thicker haze of southern comfort and cokeG DHe'd say girl you’re hotter than the hinges hangin off the gates of hellEm CDon’t be afraid to turn to me baby if a he don't treat you wellG D G CAnd by he he meant me so I laughed and I shook his handG DHe'd laugh a little bit louder as he would yell up at the band[Refrain]G DPlay a train song, pour me one more roundEm CMake’em leave my boots on on the day they lay me downG D G CI am a runaway locomotive out of my one track mindG D G D GAnd I’m lookin for any kind of trouble that I can find[Strophe]G DI got this old black leather jacket, got this pack of Marlboro redsEm CI got this stash here in my pocket, got these thoughts in my own headG D G CI got to run until I’ve got walk or until I got to crawlG D GAt this moment that I’m in right now and nothin else at all[Refrain]G DPlay a train song, pour me one more roundEm CMake’em leave my boots on on the day they lay me downG D G CI am a runaway locomotive out of my one track mindG D G D GAnd I’m lookin for any kind of trouble that I can find[Strophe]G DAnd the television blizzard lights we looked around his placeEm CWe found him cold there on the sofa a little smile across his faceG D G CAnd though I tried with all my sadness somehow I could never weepG DFor a man who looked to me like he died laughin in his sleep[Outro]G DSingin a train song, drinkin one last roundEm CWe made’em leave his boots on on the day they laid him downG D G CHe was a runaway locomotive out of his one track mindG CPlay a train songG CPlay a train songG D GPlay a train song
