New Train John Prine
AD Full blown silence in an empty room A A former bride and a former groom E A folding table and a folding chair A A folded hand of poker there D All new directions must go everywhere A Big round people in a cool little square E You can't cut it with a boat or a plane DA Man it's gonna take a new train
You'll be leaving on a new train Far away from this world of pain And when you look out your window you'll see Your home, your baby, and your family No melted ice cubes in a paper cup Hell, you'll be happy, you'll be all shook up The friends that greet you will be simple and plain When you step down from that new train
Collected volumes of history say Man makes mistakes most every day The half a pound of chopped ground round Is still a burger when it goes downtown No faded photographs of yesterdays Are in the books that I read these days To fly away from that memory town You must keep both your feet on the ground
Repeat II
I'll be leaving on a new train Far away from this world of pain The friends that greet me will be simple and plain When I step down from that new train New train new train
