I had a [Gm] job, [Bb] I had a girl, I had something [F] going on stirring this world.
I [G] got laid off, I had to go [F] to the laundry [Bb] yard, I had a [F] love one bad, times got hard.
I had a love one, now [Eb] I work [F] down at the car wash, where all the desert [Gm] rain.
Don't [Eb] you feel [F] like you're the rider on [Gm] a down [Bb]-miled [F] train.
She just said, [Gm] Joe, I [Bb] gotta go, we had [F] once, we ain't got it anymore.
She backed it [Gm] back, left [Bb] me behind, she bought a [F] ticket on the Central Line.
Nights [Eb] as I sleep, I hear that [F] whistle whining, I feel a kiss in the [Gm] misty rain.
And [Eb] I feel like [F] I'm a rider on [Gm] a down [F]-miled train.

[G] Last night I heard your [Bb] voice, you were crying, [F] crying, you were so alone.
You said your [Gm] love had never [Bb] died, you were [F] waiting for me at home.
Put on [Gm] my jacket, I ran through [Bb] the woods, I rambled, I [F] thought my chest would explode.
There in a [Gm] clearing, beyond the [Bb] highway, in the [F] moonlight, I went and I was shown.
I rushed through [Gm] the yard, I burst through the [Bb] front door, my head pounding [F] hard, up the stairs I climbed.
The room [Gm] was dark, our bed [Bb] was empty, then I [F] heard that long whistle whine.
And I [Eb] dropped to my knees on my [Bb] head in the ground.
I [Eb] swam, swam, [Gm] came around, a [F] railroad gang, knocking on the door, I was working [Gm] in a van.
I don't feel like a [F] rider on [Gm] a down [Eb]-miled [F] train.
