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.

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 B/C G
I can't even make friends with my brain
C B/C G
I'm too young to be where I'm going
C B/C 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)
