[Intro]

C

[Verse 1]

C
It's 11:05 and it's a little bit late

Bb
But I just heard the whistle of the southbound freight

C
The Norfolk & Southern's coming 'round the hill

Bb
It's the only sound on this night, so still

C
Here at 11:05

[Verse 2]

C
As I puff up my pillow on the edge of sleep

Bb
The whistle takes me back to memories deep

C
Putting pennies on the railroad track

Bb
And waiting for the train that crushed them flat

C

Back at 11:05

[Chorus]

F C
At 11:05 in the morning of my life

F C
That sound sliced the silence like a butterknife

F C
I'll never forget that weepy whistle sound

G7
When that big locomotive came rolling down

C

Back at 11:05

[Verse 3]

C
We'd sit by the crossing in the midday sun

Bb
Counting all the railcars one by one

C
Coal cars, box cars 'round the bend

Bb
The little red caboose bringing up the end

C
