A Train Not Running

By Chris Knight

Written By Chris Knight/Stacy Dean Campbell

CD – The Jealous Kind

Capo 1

G

The sound of a train not running

Em G

Has been keeping me awake

G

The Westmoreland mine ain't run much coal

Em Cadd9

Since back in '88

G

Got on at the sawmill

Em G

But I've got to find a better way

D

Or the sound of a train not running

Cadd9 G

Is gonna carry me away

Chorus:

Em

And every time you look at me, Mary

C G

I want to tell you someday

D

We'll leave the sound of a train not running

Cadd9 G

A thousand miles away

G

I don't want to risk my freedom

Em G

Growing crops on company land

G

But it'd be a damned sight better

Em Cadd9

Than a government check in my hand

I used to bring home good money

You used to drive a decent car

But now we go to town on Saturday

It seems a little too far

Chorus

G

Now some nights when our baby cries

Em G

I feel a twinge of fear

D

When the sound of a train not running

Cadd9 G

Is the only thing I hear

Chorus
