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
With each click of the wheels on steel, a face goes by,
C G D Dsus4
With each face that he loves he turns and sighs.
#
CHORUS
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
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
"Won't matter how long you're gone, I'll wait for you".
C G D Dsus4
Now you know you were gone such a long long time.
#
CHORUS
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.

REFRAIN
G A D Dsus4
That train's.. movin' on down the line,
G A D Dsus4
Leavin' people at every depot behind,
G A
And you wanna begin somewhere,
G A
But you remember what it like down there,
D DsuD4
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
She's a woman who's seen this world and not touched one man,
C G D Dsus4
She knows she could if she would but she can't.
#
CHORUS
C Dsus4
And she's headin' home
C D
Yes, she's headin' home,
Back where life begins and ends,
C Dsus4 D
And they feel that you belong to them.
#
D Dsus4 D Dsusu4
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
But somehow the clock struck twelve, the ball was through,
C G D DDus4
Now here you are, could that be you?
#
CHORUS
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.

REFRAIN
G A D Dsus4
That train's.. movin' on down the line,
G A D Dsus4
Leavin' people at every depot behind.
G A G A
You wanna begin somewhere, but you'll always take a chance out there,
D DsuD4
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
When you've been as far as I have, you know these things,
C G D Dsus4
That's the reason that it's sad and drank the drinks.
#
CHORUS
C Dsus4 C D
'Cause I got no home no, and I need no one,
Dsus4
Nothing to bring pain again,
C Dsus4 D
It's great just livin' on the wind.
#
D Dsus4 D Dsus4
But the woman is met by her husband there at the station,
D Dsus4 D Dsus4
And two stops later the soldier's girl is still waitin'.
C G D Dsus4
I simply accept the fact they're just lucky, that's all,
C G D Dsus4
But the fact is I don't believe they pulled it off.
#
CHORUS
C Dsus4 C D
And I can't go on no, no, I can't go on
Dsus4
Making everything I see,
C Dsus4 D
fit the way that it is for me.

G A
And you wanna begin somewhere
G A
But for me there's nothing true out there
D Dsus4 D
So I move down the line.Hm-mm-mm,-mm-mm.
