A Train Not Running
By Chris Knight
Written By Chris Knight/Stacy Dean Campbell
 
 
[Verse 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
 
[Verse 2]
  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
G
I used to bring home good money
            Em             G
You used to drive a decent car
        D
But now we go to town on Saturday
   Cadd9              G
It seems a little too far
 
 
[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
 
[Bridge]
    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]
                   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
 
[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
