D Dsus4 D Dsus4
A soldier rides on a train to Tennessee,
D Dsus4 D Dsus4
And half asleep he dreams, it isn't a dream.
C G D Dsus4 D
With each click of the wheels on steel, a face goes by,
C G D Dsus4 D
With each face that he loves he turns and sighs.
C G Dsus4
And he's headed home
C D
Yes, he's headed home,
Dsus4
To try and find his life again,
C Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
And to wonder what's become of them.
D Dsus4 D Dsus4
A young girl waving goodbye while his mother stood cryin',
D Dsus4 D Dsus4
With lips like honey she was lovin' him all of the time'n.
C G D Dsus4 D
"Won't matter how long you're gone, I'll wait for you".
C G D Dsus4 D
Now you know you were gone such a long long time.
C Dsus4 C D
And you can't go home, no you can't go home,
Dsus4 C Dsus4 D
Expectin' everything you knew, to be waitin' there on you.
G A D Dsus4 D
That train's.. movin' on down the line,
G A D Dsus4 D
Leavin' people at every depot behind,
G A
And you wanna begin somewhere,
G A
But you remember what it like down there,
D Dsus4 D
So you move down the line. Hm-mm-mm.
D Dsus4 D Dsus4
Three rows back a young woman looks out the train,
D Dsus4 D Dsus4
Her eyes reveal that her life is desperately plain.
C G D Dsus4 D
She's a woman who's seen this world and not touched one man,
C G D Dsus4 D
She knows she could if she would but she can't.
C Dsus4
And she's headin' home
C D
Yes, she's headin' home,
C Dsus4 D
And they feel that you belong to them.
D Dsus4 D Dsus
But there was a time that time when the time was so right,
D Dsus4 D Dsus4
Close enough you swear to G_d, you still smell the night.
C G D Dsus4 D
But somehow the clock struck twelve, the ball was through,
C G D Dsus4 D
Now here you are, could that be you?
C Dsus4 C D
Whoa you can't go on, no no you can't go on,
Dsus4
Livin' safe inside your walls,
C Dsus4 D
Never taste life at all.
G A D Dsus4 D
That train's.. movin' on down the line,
G A D Dsus4 D
Leavin' people at every depot behind.
G A G A
You wanna begin somewhere, but you'll always take a chance out there,
D Dsus4 D
So you move down the line.Hm-mm-mm.
D Dsus4 D Dsus4
I sit half drunk in the dining car and observe life,
D Dsus4 D Dsus4
I got him pegged and I'm pretty sure I got her right.
C G D Dsus4 D
When you've been as far as I have, you know these things,
