[Verse]
C           G      D               G
Station was empty, trains were all gone.
C             G           D          G
Reached in my pocket, and waited for dawn.
[Chorus]
C                G          D            G
The clock played drums, and I hummed the sax.
        C                       D        G
And the wind whistled down, the railroad tracks.
    C           G        D         G
Hey three for a quarter, one for a dime.
     C                      D             G
I'll bet it's tomorrow, by Rocky Mountain time.
[Verse]
C             G               D            G
Walked in the restaurant, for something to do
C               G          D          G
Waitress yelled at me, and so did the food
        C            G                  D             G
And the water tastes funny, when you're far from your home
         C                      D         G
But it's only the thirsty, that hunger to roam
(Repeat chorus)
      F                    G
We'll build us a castle on Main Street
    F                              G
And pretend that we're down on the farm
      F                            G
Hell, we'll hold out as long as we have to
           A                      D
Then we'll twist off each other's arm
G              C            G
Christ, I'm so mixed up and lonely
        C         C/B             G
I can't even make friends with my brain
        C        C/B           G
I'm too young to be where I'm going
        C        C/B        G
But I'm too old to go back again
C           G      D               G
Station was empty, trains were all gone.
C             G           D          G
Reached in my pocket, and waited for dawn.
(Repeat Chorus)
