The Next Thing Smokin

C G C

[Verse 1]
C                 F           C
Well I lit out in Southern Arizona
  Am            G                 C
I followed an abandoned railroad track
                  F       C            Am
Trains they used run from Bisby out to Juarez
         D                               G
But the copper mines are closed and the trains ain't coming back
C                F             C
This here’s the land of stolen ponies
E                             Am
Rattlesnakes and poison water wells
     F                                C       Am
Each god-forsaken mile leads right to heaven
    F                    G             C
But tryin to please that woman it was hell

[Chorus]
C             F            C
Put me on the next thing smokin
      Am      G                 C
Put me on the next train out of here
                 F              C
This heart ain't made for being broken
      D                             G
Well she ain't my conductor and she ain’t my engineer
C             F           C
Put me on the next thing leavin’
     E                            Am
The northern or the southern hemisphere
F                          C      Am
Put me on the next thing smokin’
F              G                C
Put me on the next train outta here
              Am
I'm bound to ride
           C
I got my pride
              Am
I'm bound to ride
              G
I'm bound to ride

[Verse 2]
 C                F              C
I made it to the ghost town of Hachita
       Am             G             C
I got drunk in the Hachita General store
  C                 F         C
I passed the place Geronimo surrendered
       D                       G
Well Geronimo baby just can’t take it anymore
     C               F              C
I’ll hitchhike from Columbus to El Paso
      E                          Am
Where I can catch an Amtrak or a freight
      F                            C          Am
I've walked 300 miles across these bad-lands
     F        G              C
Yeah buddy I have made my great escape

[Chorus]
C             F            C
Put me on the next thing smokin
      Am      G                 C
Put me on the next train out of here
                 F              C
This heart ain't made for being broken
      D                             G
Well she ain't my conductor and she ain’t my engineer
C             F           C
Put me on the next thing leavin’
     E                            Am
The northern or the southern hemisphere
F                          C      Am
Put me on the next thing smokin’
F              G                C
Put me on the next train outta here
              Am
I'm bound to ride
           C
I got my pride
              Am
I'm bound to ride
              G
I'm bound to ride
