I Dont Wanna Ride The Rails No More

C F Am  F C G
C F Am  F C

[Verse 1]

                        F                    Am
Well, I've been hoppin' freight trains all my life
F                                 C              G
I woke up cold and hungry, in the middle of the night
C                      F               Am
Been on the wrong end of a drunkard's knife
        F               G               C
And nowhere to send the letters that I write

[Verse 2]

C                            F            Am
And I'll bet I've seen most every single town
    F                                  C             G
But never stopped quite long enough to ever hang around
            C                F               Am
'Cause that whistle makes a mighty lonesome sound
          F               G                C
It's been on my mind, I'd love to settle down

[Chorus]

    F                                Am
And I don't wanna ride the rails no more
         F                              G
I wanna know a woman's love worth dyin' for
      F                                     Am
Hear children playin' through an old screen door
    F              G                 C
No, I don't wanna ride the rails no more

[Verse 3]

C                   F                 Am
The train's pullin' out at half past nine
     F                                      C                    G
The waitress said, "Hey stranger, how 'bout one more glass of wine?"
        C               F                 Am
We kept talkin' and we lost all track of time
    F                  G               C
The train pulled out, left us there behind

[Verse 4]

C                        F               Am
For the first time in my life, I didn't run
   F                               C                  G
I felt your arms around me and my rambling days were done
  C                F          Am
Somethin' changed deep inside of me
      F             G                C
The radio played "Love Is All You Need"
