Biography:
A singer and songwriter of uncommon resonance, Doug Burr was born in 1972 in Dallas, TX, growing up in a Southern Baptist family, the spiritual residue of which has been a lifelong influence on his musical endeavors. Burr took up the guitar at age 16, and by 18 he was writing songs. After a dozen or so years of home recording, open mikes, church performances, and coffeehouse gigs in the Dallas-Fort Worth region, he began fronting the roots rock band the Lonelies.

Just a boxcar flower used to follow your daddy

another fader-in from Cincinatti

You were always watching, watching the trains roll by

Yeah, you know I love you, everything you carry
Gm
Another redeye, Mobile, Albany
Eb Bb
You were always watching, watching the train roll by
Bb
So, tell me, what's going on in Graniteville
F
Catch a whole town underneath a sleeping pill
Cm
It's a quiet little city that grew up together
Eb
with your picture looking out your grandmother's window
Bb
There's a black train rolling through the middle of the night
F
Finds us here, well there's nowhere to hide
Cm
If we ever wake up in Graniteville
Eb
Oh, you know how much I love you and I always will
Bb - F - Cm - Eb
Bb
Trying so hard just to get away
Gm
some people want to die in a quiet place
Eb Bb
where everybody's always watching, watching the trains roll by
Bb
Yeah, you have a place to go when it's never enough
Gm
Little hard to pay the toll, train's in a rush
Eb Bb
out of town, it's always leaving, waving the girl goodbye, goodbye
F
Yeah, but every town is small when it comes to you
Gm
Just like everyone's asleep when it's passing through
Eb Bb
All night I heard the scream of a million tongues
Bb (held)
So wake up, pretty baby, turn the light on
Gm (held)
tonight there's something different, something gone wrong
Eb Bb
We've been sleeping too long, so long
Bb
So, tell me, what's going on in Graniteville
F
Catch a whole town underneath a sleeping pill
Cm
It's a quiet little city that grew up together
Eb
with your picture looking out your grandmother's window

Bb F
Wake up, baby, there's a train a'comin'
Cm Eb
Don't you leave me or forsake me
Bb F
Wake up, baby, there's a train a'comin'
Cm Eb
Don't you know how much I love you?
Bb F
Wake up, baby, and hear the screeching
Cm Eb
whole town drifting off to dreamin'
Bb F
Wake up, baby, there's a train a'comin'
Cm Eb
Winter's leaving, Spring has sprung in
Bb F
Wake up, baby, hear the screaming
Cm Eb
Whole town dies while it's still sleeping
Bb F (ritard)
Wake up, baby, there's a train a'comin'
Cm Eb Eb (held)
Don't forget, you know I love you.
