A Train Not Running Chords & Lyrics - Chris Knight

[VERSE 1]
[G]The sound of a train not running
Has been [Em]keeping me a[G]wake
The [G]Westmoreland Mine ain't run much coal
Since[Em] back in '[Cadd9]88
[G]Got on at the sawmill
But I've got to [Em]find a better w[G]ay
Or the [D]sound of a train not running
Is gonna [Cadd9]carry me a[G]way

[CHORUS]
And every time you [Em]look at me, Mary
[C]I want to tell you [G]someday
We'll leave the [D]sound of a train not running
[Cadd9]A thousand miles a[G]way

[VERSE 2]
I [G]don't want to risk my freedom
Growing [Em]crops on company [G]land
But it'd [G]be a damned sight better
Than a government[Em] check in my [Cadd9]hand
[G]I used to bring home good money
You used to [Em]drive a decent [G]car
But now [D]we go to town on Saturday
It [Cadd9]seems a little too [G]far

[CHORUS]
And every time you [Em]look at me, Mary
[C]I want to tell you [G]someday
We'll leave the [D]sound of a train not running
[Cadd9]A thousand miles a[G]way

[BRIDGE]
Now [G]some nights when our baby cries
I [Em]feel a twinge of [G]fear
When the [D]sound of a train not running
[Cadd9]Is the only thing I [G]hear

[CHORUS]
And every time you [Em]look at me, Mary
[C]I want to tell you [G]someday
We'll leave the [D]sound of a train not running
[Cadd9]A thousand miles a[G]way

[CHORUS]
And every time you [Em]look at me, Mary
[C]I want to tell you [G]someday
We'll leave the [D]sound of a train not running
[Cadd9]A thousand miles a[G]way
