I had a job, I had a girl
DI had something going mister in this world
I got laid off down at the lumber yard
DOur love went bad, times got hard
C DNow I work down at the carwash
Where all it ever does is rain
C D Em G DDon't you feel like you're a rider on a downbound train
Em G
She just said "Joe I gotta go
DWe had it once we ain't got it any more"
She packed her bags left me behind
DShe bought a ticket on the Central Line
C DNights as I sleep, I hear that whistle whining
I feel her kiss in the misty rain
C D Em G DAnd I feel like I'm a rider on a downbound train
Em G D
Em G
Last night I heard your voice
You were crying, crying, you were so alone
Em GYou said your love had never died
DYou were waiting for me at home
Put on my jacket, I ran through the woods
DI ran till I thought my chest would explode
Em GThere in the clearing, beyond the highway
In the moonlight, our wedding house shone
Em GI rushed through the yard, I burst through the front door
DMy head pounding hard, upstairs I climbed
The room was dark, our bed was empty
DThen I heard that long whistle whine
C GAnd I dropped to my knees, hung my head and cried
C D
Now I swing a hammer on a road gang
Knocking down them cross ties, working in the rain
C D Em G D Em G DNow don't it feel like you're a rider on a downbound train
Em G D
(there ya go....)
