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]
