*************** PUT ME ON A TRAIN BACK TO TEXAS ***************
written by Jim Hurt,Billy Nelson and Roy Clayborne
performed by Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings.
Verse 1: (Willie)
D
I've been on the road most all of my life
A
Traveled from coast to coast
In search of some pleasures and treasures and things
D
Whatever pleased me the most
Like bandanas and blue jeans and old cowboy clothes
G
That bring back an old country song
D
About rough rides and red-eyes and old broken bones
C/GGD
And railroad tracks running back home
Chorus: (Willie & Waylon)
GD
Put me on a train back to Texas
GD
I've been where the highwaymen roam
GD
Put me on a train back to Texas
C/GGD
Wake me up when we reach San Antone
C/GGD
Wake me up when we reach San Antone
Verse 2: (Waylon)
D
Mamma says home's where the heart is
A
Like Bob Wills said in a poem
My heart is there in the middle of Texas
D
Beside the old Alamo
Like my broken in saddle and old leather boots
G
I'm worn but i'm still going strong
D
Cowboys can tell when the season is changing
C/GGD
And i think it's time to move on
Chorus
