---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rocky Mountain Time - John Prine ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
CGDG Station was empty, Trains were all gone. CGDG Reached in my pocket, And waited for dawn.
Chorus: CGDG The clock played drums, And I hummed the sax. CDG And the wind whistled down, The railroad tracks. CGDG Hey three for a quarter, One for a dime. CDG I'll bet it's tomorrow, By Rocky Mountain time.
CGDG Walked in the restaurant, For something to do CGDG Waitress yelled at me, And so did the food CGDG And the water tastes funny, When you're far from your home CDG But it's only the thirsty, That hunger to roam
(Repeat chorus)
FG We'll build us a castle on Main Street FG And pretend that we're down on the farm FG Hell, we'll hold out as long as we have to AD Then we'll twist off each other's arm
GCG Christ I'm so mixed up and lonely CB/CG I can't even make friends with my brain CB/CG I'm too young to be where I'm going CB/CG But I'm too old to go back again
CGDG Station was empty, Trains were all gone. CGDG Reached in my pocket, And waited for dawn.
