Gently brushed the silver strand of hair from his wrinkled brow

Lips that used to talk so free the eyes that used to beckon me were silent now

He listens to a passing train

His woman's name was Margaret

Some forty years he made the steam
ch]C[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
From Memphis down to New Orleans but now he's off the line
ch]D[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]G[/ch

Can't you hear that whistle blowing?
ch]D[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
They both know I've been alone for much too long
ch]G7[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Let's not keep them waiting

They say he talks crazy when
ch]C[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
He sees the passing train or when he hears Margaret's name
ch]D[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
But the only things he ever loved, he lost before he loved enough he's not to blame
ch]G[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch
So who's to say he's right or wrong
ch]C[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Reaching out and hanging on to dreams he can't let go
