Intro: | C | C | C | C |

C                                                            G7
The only thing I really own is what you see me wearing on my back
                                                                         C
The only friends I've ever known are the kind you meet along a railroad track
                                                                   G7
The kind you bum tabacco from and view the world through a boxcar door
    F                   G7                   F               G7
A friend who talks and makes you laugh has nothing much but gives you half
     F               G7         C
And maybe you don't see him anymore

C                                     F
Special I hear your lonesome whistle whine

It's calling me 
G7                                  C
Special keep moving me on down the line

C                                                                   G7
My mackinaw is full of holes and ain't too good at keepin' out the cold
                                                                          C 
My shoes are worn as paper thin my feet can feel the cinders through the soles
                                                                    G7
Sometimes I see a pretty girl and wonder what I've missed along the way
       F              G7               F                  G7 
Once someone special wore my ring and loved me more than anything
   F                G7                C
I gave her up and caught a train one day

C                                 F
Special I had a special girl one time

Now she's not mine 
G7                                  C 
Special keep moving me on down the line
